Project Selection
GHF specialists discuss conservation techniques with local experts and students in Pingyao, China.
GHF works with its Senior Advisory Board and other experts to investigate a range of potential GHF Projects each year. To be selected as a GHF Project, a site must meet the following criteria:
1. Involve an endangered UNESCO World Heritage Inscribed Site (or States Party’s Tentative List site) or major archaeological or cultural heritage site of universal significance.
2. Be located in a developing country or region (less than $3 a day per capita income).
3. Have a strong existing team of local conservation leaders and partners.
4. Have in place, or in development, an effective site conservation plan.
5. Demonstrate high potential for sustainable preservation through community involvement.
