Our Changing World – 100 Most Endangered Monuments
In ways deeply mysterious a times it seems that monuments hold the memories of past generations. Just having them around can be heartening at times.

Many monuments around the works are threatened because of disregard, lack of funds, in attention, war and strife – all sorts of reasons. Some monuments do fade form the world, and that is also how it is. But what is our responsibility, the caretakers for this time, to maintain those monuments that are old beyond reckoning, and the ones that hold sadness and grief beyond measure?
