HERITAGE NEEDS YOUR HELP

As a nation, we see ours eves with certain cultural and heritage roots. After all that make us what we are and tell others where we came from, where we grew up and how history has shaped us as individuals. Memories help in preserving our past. Rather like photographs taken of fun times that are put into albums to open and reflect upon at some later dates. So, just as we preserve our memories, in a variety of forms, we must also preserve our memories, in a variety of  forms, we must also preserve our monument and buildings. For it is these that that give a nation its past and therefore its present and future. Another body that looks after heritage site is the United Nation Education, Scientific and Culture Organisation (UNESCO). A UNESCO World Heritage Site is one that is maintained by the International World Heritage Programme administered Dy the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. India  too has a good mix of cultural and natural heritage sites. But not many of us understand our role towards these heritage edifices. People visit the site and end up writing on the walls, destroying the natural flora and fauna.... Looking at the vulnerabilities, one needs to be more protective towards these structures that have so stoically stood the test time.
