A group of archeologists and scientists warn the effects of climate change are impacting the preservation of some of the world’s most famous cultural sites and ancient artifacts that have yet to be discovered.
, 35 per cent of the world’s wetlands have been lost since 1970. With rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns, many wetlands have been left dried out.
The study authors say climate change policies and cultural heritage sectors must create more protection for archeological sites through policies and sustainable community planning. Since healthy wetlands can store large amounts of CO2, the study authors theorize that by re-wetting it to keep the ecosystem from drying out, this may help nations reduce their greenhouse gas emissions while protecting any potential archeological finds that lay beneath them.
With just days ahead of the COP27 climate conference, researchers say they hope their findings emphasize the need for not only concrete planning but immediate action to preserve the world’s history.
