About GHN

The purpose of the Global Heritage Network (GHN) is to raise awareness of, facilitate debate on and collaboratively seek solutions to the increasing threats facing cultural heritage sites in developing countries by connecting concerned citizens as well as experts and academics working in cultural heritage site conservation with each other in a dynamic, interactive and content-rich environment and to which GHN members can easily contribute their own data and experiences.

GHN thus aims to:

• Act as an early warning and monitoring system for threatened sites
• Seek solutions to those threats collaboratively
• Facilitate the implementation of solutions to mitigate the threats
• Report and monitor results of the solutions implemented

To achieve this, GHN brings together both experts in the field of heritage preservation and the general public to save endangered cultural heritage sites in the developing world by identifying the threats these sites face and then finding solutions to mitigate those threats.  While cultural heritage sites are under pressure in all countries, it is felt that the effort to protect and preserve those in developing countries are additionally hampered by the availability of fewer trained conservators in-country and the inability of states parties to commit the required funding.
