The World Monuments Fund's watch list for 2010

The WMF's watch list for 2010 includes 93 sites from 47 countries. The list includes: Phajoding, a remote monastery in Bhutan, traditional town houses in Kyoto, Machu Picchu, The Old City of Herat (Western Afghanistan - left) and bridges along Connecticut's Merritt Parkway.

"The 2010 watch makes it clear that cultural heritage efforts in the 21st century must recognize the critical importance of sustainable stewardship and that we must work closely with local partners to create viable and appropriate opportunities to advance this" World Monuments Fund President Bonnie Burnham.
