Audio Embed
Dr Ahmad argues that we should look beyond conflict, to factors such as construction, lack of investment, as well as lack of awareness as being powerful causes of damage to cultural heritage.
It is generally believed that the dangers facing cultural heritage come from the terrorist groups. However, there are other dangers to this heritage, no less severe, that need to be treated, in times of peace as in times of war. The different types of danger require different approaches to save the cultural heritage.
