Monuments in Danger!

They are beautiful, they are amazing, but they are in danger. Rising seas, melting ice and global warming threaten our cultural sites and monuments. But just as we are responsible for most of the damage, we also have the power to save them. What are we going to do?

Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England

Stonehenge is a 5,000-year-old circle of giant stones. Some people believe it was a place to worship the sun. Nobody knows what it really was. 800,000 people visit it each year! Unfortunately, all these visitors have damaged the stones. Traffic pollution also threatens the stones. Authorities are going to try moving busy roads and car parks further away from the site. Will mystical Stonehenge survive for the next 5,000 years?

The Temples of Angkor Wat, Cambodia

These temples were built in the early 12th century. The temples are a national symbol of Cambodia. One of them appears on Cambodia's flag. About 2.6 million tourists visit them every year. Wet, humid weather, vegetation and tourists are all damaging these soft-sandstone temples. Conservationists are working hard to protect them. Hopefully, this will help to preserve Angkor Wat for many more years.
