The World Monuments Watch champions places nominated by individuals and organizations that span the globe.
Launched in 1996, the World Monuments Watch is a global call for heritage places needing urgent attention and where timely action can help communities thrive. Every two years, the Watch selects 25 sites out of hundreds of nominations received from around the world, highlighting the most pressing issues confronting heritage today and embodying the stories of local champions sparking change in their communities.
The Watch rallies global attention around local preservation efforts through a high-profile international campaign that boosts visibility and helps mobilize resources for safeguarding heritage places. Beyond raising awareness, WMF partners with site nominators and community leaders to deliver technical expertise, advocate for protection and financial support, and develop collaborative projects when possible.
Safeguarding heritage is a collective effort—and we encourage you to join us.
