CONSERVATION
Across the world we can find hundreds of thousands of rock art sites, important heritage places for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and a testament to over 40,000 years of human activity, including interactions with other peoples and the environment. Many of these sites have not been documented or recorded and are threatened by natural and cultural agents. It is becoming increasingly important to develop conservation models for the protection and preservation of sites.
