World Monument Fund has just announced a World Monuments Watch-list of the most endangered historic sites in the world. Iraq and other conflict areas are of course especially vulnerable and of concern.
Six of the sites listed are in Turkey, among them Hasankeyf (which I have previously shown you pictures of here), Istanbul's city walls and an Ankara han. Several other personal favourites of mine are also listed and there is a possibility to contribute to the Watch-efforts.
