Preserving
Humankind’s Cultural Heritage for Future
Generations
The Global Heritage Fund’s mission is
to help ensure the long-term preservation of
humankind’s most important and imperiled
Global Heritage sites in developing countries.
An international non-profit conservancy, the
GHF provides timely investment, expertise, monitoring
and advocacy for conservation of major archaeological
sites and ancient townscapes.
GHF Ambassadors and Trustees
provide the critical support GHF needs to save
the world's endangered treasures and directly
improve the lives of people in the communities
where we work.
In
the Field
A SUCCESSFUL
LAUNCH IN 2002
Global Heritage Fund
(GHF) would like to thank all of our supporters,
Trustees, Ambassadors, Mentors, volunteers and
our Advisory Board for making 2002 a very successful
year in launching GHF. Based on your advice
and critical support, we have provided over
$250,000 in funding and expertise for seven
(7) archaeological conservation projects in
China,
Vietnam,
Guatemala,
Peru,
Ukraine,
Kenya
and India.
CONSERVATION MISSION
TO ANJAR, LEBANON
 A
successful conservation mission to Anjar, Lebanon
- an 8th century Umayyad Kingdom site and one
of five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country
- has begun the process of building stronger
bridges to the Middle East. We hope to increase
our support and cooperation with other conservation
initiatives in the region over the coming year.
FOCUS ON GHF MIRADOR
BASIN  Global
Heritage Fund is providing expertise and funding
for the Mirador Basin Master Conservation Plan
in partnership with FARES, the Instituto de
Antropologia e Historia de Guatemala (IDAEH)
and Instituto Guatemalteco de Turismo (INGUAT).
Funding supports the development of conservation
methodology and science for the Mirador Basin’s
unique Pre-Classic Mayan sites, as well as related
wilderness design, park services, anti-looting
measures, and nature protection.
 In
2002, donations for GHF Mirador Basin helped
to establish National Monument designation and
permanent protection for a 600,000 acre wilderness,
wildlife and archaeological park. GHF-funded
conservation at La Florida, the most visited
of 26 major Mayan temple and pyramid complexes
in Mirador Basin, and committed funding for
preserving three high-priority Pre-Classic Mayan
monuments will begin in January 2003.
