Haiti Conservation and Reconstruction Efforts
Published by admin on August 10th, 2010
Earlier this year, the ICOMOS Secretariat requested that all national committees identify projects in Haiti related to the built environment developed by public or private entities that might affect cultural resources. Based on preliminary research, USICOMOS sent the roster of US projects to the ICOMOS Secretariat in July and the information will be forwarded to our peers in Haiti for use as they develop stabilization and conservation plans. If you know of programs we may have missed, we appreciate hearing about them and will update our information to send to ICOMOS and ISPAN. |
