Cent ans de Machu Picchu
Juillet 2011 marque le 100e anniversaire de
la découverte du site de Machu Picchu (Pérou) par l’Américain Hiram Bingham en
1911. Le sanctuaire historique du Machu
Picchu a été inscrite sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial en 1983 comme site mixte,
culturel et naturel. Le suivi du site est assuré par le Comité du patrimoine mondial
qui, en coopération avec les autorités péruviennes, assure sa protection.
Machu Picchu apporte, avec Cuzco et les
autres sites archéologiques de la vallée de
l'Urubamba (Ollantautaybo, Runcuracay, Sayacmarca, Phuyupamarca, Huiñay Huayna,
Intipucu, etc) un témoignage unique de la
civilisation inca. Cuzco et les vieux villages
©UNESCO
conservent des traces de l'occupation des terres de l'Empire inca de préserver, d'une manière plus globale, un patrimoine archéologique qui est devenu sensible aux effets de
l'urbanisation. Par ailleurs, Machu Picchu est un exemple remarquable de l'interaction
de l’homme avec son environnement naturel.
À 2 430 m d'altitude, dans un site montagneux d'une extraordinaire beauté, au milieu
d'une forêt tropicale, Machu Picchu a probablement été la création urbaine la plus stupéfiante de l'Empire inca à son apogée aux XVe et XVIe siècles : murailles, terrasses
et rampes gigantesques sculptent les escarpements rocheux dont elles paraissent le
prolongement. Le cadre naturel, sur le versant oriental des Andes, fait partie du bassin
supérieur de l'Amazone, riche d'une flore et d'une faune très variées.

(en italien) A.A.A. Mecenati per Pompei cercasi - Pompei (Italia)
Dopo l’accordo tra il MiBAC e l’imprenditore Diego Della Valle (proprietario del marchio Tod’s)
per il restauro del Colosseo, anche a Pompei, dopo la presentazione del piano di recupero
dell’area archeologica, sembra affacciarsi l’ipotesi di un mecenate privato in grado di
fronteggiare i costi per il recupero degli spazi.
Dal crollo della Domus dei Gladiatori ad oggi, l’area archeologica campana è stata oggetto di
una mappatura approfondita da parte delle facoltà di architettura dell’Università di Genova e
del Politecnico di Milano, che avevano già portato avanti un lavoro analogo per l’anfiteatro
Flavio, a seguito del quale è stato approvato, la scorsa settimana, un piano di intervento. Nel piano, si dichiara, verranno
utilizzati 85 milioni di euro in partenza ed altri 10 successivamente, tutti provenienti da fondi europei Poin, da destinare a
indagini e rilievi idrogeologici.

New Global Heritage Fund Project - Marcahuamachuco - Peru
The site of Marcahuamachuco was a major regional center in the Andean Early Middle Horizon
period (300–700A.D.). Located in the northern Peruvian highlands of La Libertad and until
recently a difficult site to reach, today a new road makes it accessible in three and a half hours
from Trujillo, the third largest city on the country's Pacific coast and the location of major
Moche heritage sites. The function of the site, although not fully clear, was as the seat of a
ceremonial oracle, as well as a religious and political center, including turning into a burial site
in its later stages. Its influence extended to all of northern Peru and contemporary southern
Ecuador. Global Heritage Fund is working with the Unidad Ejecutivo Marcahuamachuco (UEM) to prepare a program of
planning, conservation and community development to enable long- term site sustainability.

Mexican Archaeologists Find Probable Prehispanic Maya Cemetery in State of
Tabasco - Tabasco State- Mexico
In the surroundings of Comalcalco Archaeological Zone, Tabasco, the National Institute of
Anthropology and History (INAH) found 116 burials that are more than 1,000 years old; 66
of them were deposited in funerary urns while the other 50 were placed around them. The
finding represents the greatest skeleton sample found in this Maya region, suggesting it
could be a Prehispanic Maya cemetery.

Ossuary Belonging to a Daughter of the Caiaphas Family of High Priests Discovered
http://universityandheritage.net/fra/noticias/newsletter_70/01_2011.html (1 de 7) [31/08/2011 11:29:30]
- Jerusalem
Three years ago the Israel Antiquities Authority Unit for the Prevention of Antiquities Robbery
acquired a decorated ossuary bearing an engraved inscription. The ossuary was discovered
by antiquities robbers who plundered an ancient Jewish tomb of the Second Temple period.
During the course of the investigation it was determined that the ossuary came from a burial
cave in the area of the Valley of ’Elah, in the Judean Shephelah.
Archeologia pompeiana, sostegno giurassico
Arriva la fondazione francese che filtra finanziamenti privati esentasse, e tutti esultano: Pompei
è salva! E’ contento il direttore generale per la valorizzazione, è soddisfatta la soprintendente
archeologica di Napoli e Pompei, è felice il Consiglio Superiore dei Beni Culturali. Il
sottosegretario rassicura, l’Unesco garantisce. E una cordata di imprenditori paga. Il nostro
Paese, colto da questa notizia nel corso degli ultimi spasimi che lo stanno conducendo
allegramente a fondo, potrebbe ricordare a sé stesso i disastri forgiati dalle cordate di capitani
coraggiosi (per citare gli ultimi e più feroci, nell’impero delle comunicazioni e media e nel regno
del trasporto aereo). E l’establishment culturale dovrebbe smettere di aggrapparsi all’elemosina senza prima intaccare la
sostanza delle regole, e senza guardare avanti con la necessaria lucidità. Così, mentre nel mondo reale la cultura diventa
sempre di più il driver della crescita economica e sociale anche attraverso la nascita di nuovi mercati, nel Belpaese si
continua a inseguire la catena dei finanziatori.

North Carolina's Great Dismal Swamp Holds Clues about Pre-War Runaway Slaves - Elizabeth City - North
Carolina - USA
The oppressive heat, venomous serpents and boot-snatching muck that made the Great Dismal Swamp a barrier to
European settlement ever since colonial times also made it a haven for thousands of people escaping slavery before the
Civil War.
This fall, a permanent exhibition will open to provide some detail about those lives, part of an expanding effort by the
National Park Service and other agencies to recast the experience of pre-war slaves. Scholars are using sites like the Great
Dismal Swamp, straddling the line between North Carolina and Virginia, to highlight a little-known side of history, in which
the freedom trail for slaves didn't always run to the north.
French Archaeologists Unearth Hundreds of Large Inscribed Limestone Blocks in
Egypt - San El-Hagar - Egypt
French archaeologists have unearthed hundreds of 3,000-year-old colored limestone blocks
believed to have been used to build the sacred lake walls of a temple dedicated to the
goddess Mut.
Egypt's minister of antiquities, Zahi Hawass, says the blocks were unearthed in San El-Hagar
in northern Egypt. Hawass said in a statement Monday the blocks may have belonged to
King Osorkon II of the 22nd Dynasty (945-718 B.C.) and been used for either a temple or a
chapel.
The French mission has so far cleaned 120 blocks, 78 of which have inscriptions.
San El-Hagar was known as Tanis during the pharaonic era. It is one of the oldest Egyptian cities and contains many
temples belonging to the god Amun.
Variations on a Theme: Dual-Processual Theory and the Foreign Impact on
Mycenaean and Classic Maya Architecture - Pylos - Greece
By Joshua D. Englehardt and Donna M. Nagle This article examines evidence for
external influences on developing Mycenaean architecture, specifically at Pylos, during
the Middle to Late Bronze Age. Previous investigation suggests that emerging mainland
elites eclectically appropriated foreign material cultural forms, styles, and techniques
into established local traditions, most likely for use in localized prestige competition.
Although a wealth of previous scholarship has convincingly demonstrated an extensive
Minoan impact on the Greek mainland, less work has been done to provide a context for the mechanisms whereby such
influence occurred. Considering architecture as a reflection of social structure and employing a dual-processual theoretical
framework, we explore the possibility that architectural similarities and differences between Crete and Messenia are
material manifestations of varying exclusionary and corporate strategies of sociopolitical power. We subject the Minoan
influence at Pylos to a cross-cultural comparison with the Teotihuacano impact on the development of lowland Maya
architectural styles and cultural projects in the Mesoamerican Early Classic period. We also discuss what these two case
studies teach us about the relationship between interaction, architecture, and social organization in emergent complex
societies, in both the Old World and the New World.

Archaeologists Find Two Pre-Hispanic Sculptures that Offer Insight into Maya Civilization - Ocosingo - Chiapas
- Mexico
Two Prehispanic sculptures made out of limestone that represent war captives and a pair of tableaux that marked the
Ballgame, were found by Mexican specialists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) at Tonina
Archaeological Zone, in Ocosingo Municipality, Chiapas.
The discovery confirms the alliance between Lordships of Copan, in Honduras, and Palenque, in Mexico at the war that
Palenque fought against Tonina for 26 years (688 to 714 AD) to control the Usumacinta River.
Sculptures of the prisoners of Copan and both tableaux, of an approximate age of 1300 years, were found buried in late
May 2011, to the south of the Ballgame Court
A 1,500 Year Old Public Building Dating to the Byzantine Period was Revealed in Excavations - Jerusalem
For the first time in the history of the study of Akko, a public building from the Byzantine period has been exposed in the
city. In an archaeological excavation the Israel Antiquities Authority conducted c. 100 m west of Tel Akko – next to the
Azrieli Shopping Mall compound under construction there – a 1,500 year old public building was discovered that may have
been used as a church. The salvage excavation was carried out there as a result of work that had not been coordinated
with the IAA and which caused damage to ancient remains located in a declared antiquities site.
Iron Age Gold Hoard, The Wickham Market Hoard, Saved for Ipswich Museum - Ipswich - United Kingdom
One of the largest collections of Iron Age coins to be found in recent years has been saved for the nation, and will be
displayed at Ipswich Museum thanks to the support of the Art Fund.
The Wickham Market hoard is one of the most important discoveries to be found in Suffolk in the past century and joins a
roll call of nationally important treasure finds from the county that includes the Mildenhall treasure and Hoxne hoard.
The hoard consists of 840 gold coins dating from between 20 BC-AD 20. The hoard is rare for the time period and unique
for this type of discovery as it contains only gold coinage. It is tangible evidence of the long history of the peoples of the
British Isles and offers a direct connection to the Iceni tribe which remains strongly linked to the story of Boudica, one of
Britain’s most famous folk heroines.
Archaeologists Lower Small, Remote-Controlled Camera Into Early Mayan Tomb - Chiapas - Mexico
A small, remote-controlled camera lowered into an early Mayan tomb in southern Mexico has revealed an apparently intact
funeral chamber with offerings and red-painted wall murals, researchers said Thursday.
Footage of the approximately 1,500-year-old tomb at the Palenque archaeological site showed a series of nine figures
depicted in black on a vivid, blood-red background. Archaeologists say the images from one of the earliest ruler's tombs
found at Palenque will shed new light on the early years of the once-great city state.
The National Institute of Anthropology and History said archaeologists have known about the tomb since 1999, but have
been unable to enter it because the pyramid standing above it is unstable and breaking into the chamber could damage the
murals.
Egypt's Antiquities Authority Says 5,200 Year-Old Ancient Drawing Unearthed South of Aswan - Aswan - Egypt
A 5,200-year-old rock drawing depicting a royal festival during Ancient Egypt's earliest dynasty unearthed by
archaeologists in the southern city of Aswan, Egypt, a hub of archaeological treasures. Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi
Hawass said in a statement Monday the scenes represent the first unearthing of a complete drawing of a royal festival
during Dynasty Zero, when the earliest foundations of Ancient Egyptian culture are believed to have been formed. AP

PRESERVING ANCIENT TERMEZ - UZBEKISTAN
In 2010, the UNESCO of fice in Tashkent, with financial support from the government of Spain,
initiated a project to preserve and protect the archaeological sites of ancient Termez.
The city of Termez in the southern part of Uzbekistan is one of the most important cities on the
Great Silk Road. It is located at the intersection of a transcontinental road that connects the
Eurasian steppes and Samarkand to Kabul and the Indian subcontinent, and the Mediterranean
and the Middle East with Kashgar and China. The city is located on the shores of the Amu Darya
(called Oxus by the Greeks), the de facto border between Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.

Egyptian Archaeologists to Restore Ancient Boat Found Near Pyramid of Giza - El Giza - Egypt
Archaeologists have begun excavating a 4,500-year-old wooden boat found next to the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of
Egypt's main tourist attractions, Egypt's top antiquities official said Thursday.
The boat is one of two buried next to the pharaoh Khufu in what appeared to be a religious custom to carry him in the
afterlife. Khufu, also known as Cheops, is credited with building the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Sakuji Yoshimura, a Waseda University professor who is leading the restoration project with Egypt's Antiquities Council,
said scientists discovered that the second ship is inscribed with Khufu's name.
Khufu founded the 4th Dynasty around 2680 B.C. and ruled Egypt for 23 years.
A Crusader Town Emerges Under an Old Israeli Port, Workers Prepare to Open It to the Public - Acre - Israel
Off the track beaten by most Holy Land tourists lies one of the richest archaeological sites in a country full of them: the
walled port of Acre, where the busy alleys of an Ottoman-era town cover a uniquely intact Crusader city now being
rediscovered.
Preparing to open a new subterranean section to the public, workers cleaned stones this week in an arched passageway
underground.
Etched in plaster on one wall was a coat of arms — graffiti left by a medieval traveler. Nearby was a main street of
cobblestones and a row of shops that once sold clay figurines and ampules for holy water, popular souvenirs for pilgrims.
All were last used by residents in 1291, the year a Muslim army from Egypt defeated Acre's Christian garrison and leveled
its remains.
The existing city, built by the Ottoman Turks around 1750, effectively preserved this earlier town, which had been hidden
for centuries under the rubble.
Des cocons de guêpes dans un œuf de dinosaure
Par JORGE F. GENISE et LAURA C. SARZETTI Des fossiles exceptionnellement préservés de cocons
d’insectes ont été découverts dans des œufs de dinosaures vieux de 70 millions d’années.
Ces œufs de titanosaures proviennent d’un site archéologique argentin, en Patagonie, bien connu. Ils ont
été découverts en 1989 mais ce n’est que récemment qu’on a trouvé à l’intérieur d’un de ces œufs des
structures de 2 à 3 cm de long sur 1 cm de diamètre qui font penser à des cocons d’insectes dont les plus
semblables sont ceux construits par certaines espèces de guêpes modernes comme le décrit Jorge Genise
du Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales dans la revue Palaeontology.

The Only Way is Londinium, Roman London is Revealed with Augmented Reality in New App - London - United
Kingdom
Following on from the success of award-winning app Streetmuseum™, the Museum of London has joined forces with AETN
UK ’s flagship channel HISTORY™ to develop a new app which gives users the opportunity to see Roman London as it was
2,000 years ago.
Streetmuseum Londinium will direct users to locations across London where they can immerse themselves in the sights,
sounds and remains of Roman life. At the city’s peak in AD 120 approximately 25,000 Romans lived in London , leaving
much behind to explore today.
Users can digitally excavate Roman artefacts, including leather bikini briefs and an ancient manicure set, which tell the
stories of life in Londinium. Using their finger to dig and by blowing on their iPhone, users will gradually reveal the objects
where they were first found in the capital.
Incisor raiding: Viking marauders had patterns filed into their teeth - Dorset United Kingdom
The fashion for dental bling goes back 1,000 years, according to a new discovery by
archaeologists. Long before contemporary trends for gold dental caps or teeth inlaid with
diamonds became popular, young Viking warriors were having patterns filed into their
teeth.
If their intention was to intimidate the enemy, they failed: the evidence has come from
front teeth from a pit full of decapitated skeletons, found during roadworks in Dorset and
now believed to be victims of a massacre of Viking invaders by local Britons.

An Old Turkish Prison, built by the Ottoman Turks, Opens Briefly in Jerusalem
An old Turkish prison in Jerusalem is briefly opening to the public this weekend, allowing visitors a rare glimpse inside an
infamous local landmark.
The Kishle prison in Jerusalem's Old City was built by the Ottoman Turks in the mid-1800s. It later served the British as a
jail, housing Jewish and Arab prisoners in the stormy years leading up to Israel's creation in 1948.
One of those prisoners, Samuel Matza, who was a member of a Jewish underground group as a young man, recalled
sleeping on rags on the jail's floor after British police arrested him on weapons charges 64 years ago.
Matza, now 84, said Friday he hoped to visit the building again.

Archaeologists Uncover Biblical Ruin Inside a Palestinian City in the West Bank - Nablus - Palestine
Archaeologists unearthing a biblical ruin inside a Palestinian city in the West Bank are writing the latest chapter in a 100year-old excavation that has been interrupted by two world wars and numerous rounds of Mideast upheaval. Working on an
urban lot that long served residents of Nablus as an unofficial dump for garbage and old car parts, Dutch and Palestinian
archaeologists are learning more about the ancient city of Shekhem, and are preparing to open the site to the public as an
archaeological park next year.
The project, carried out under the auspices of the Palestinian Department of Antiquities, also aims to introduce the
Palestinians of Nablus, who have been beset for much of the past decade by bloodshed and isolation, to the wealth of
antiquities in the middle of their city

Mexican Archaeologists Discover Two Partially-Mummified Bodies - Guerrero - Chihuahua - Mexico
Archaeologists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History found two human corpses that were partially
mummified and a raramuri ancestor’s skeleton in the Cueva El Gigante (Giant’s Cave), located in Guerrero, in the
Tarahumara Sierra in Chihuahua. The two mummies are now added to another eight that were found in the same place late
last year.
According to the specialists, the finding of the mummified individuals, which are thought to be between 800 and 1000 years
old, are part of a Pre-hispanic burial ground, since, between 2010 and 2011, ten mummies and thirteen skeletons have
been found in the cave.
Mexican Archaeologists Discover a Second Ballgame Player at Court in Cerro del Teul, Zacatecas - Mexico
Researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH Mexico) discovered a second sculpture of a
ballgame player, which, unlike the one found in late 2010, has its head. The finding took place at Cerro del Teul
Archaeological Site, Zacatecas, and specialists say both pieces could evoke a passage of Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the
Maya people, related to divine twins.
The stone sculpture, discovered a few weeks ago, represents the body of a ballgame player (a 175 centimeters high
cylinder with 56 centimeters diameter figure) and is almost complete. It was located in the southwestern corner of the
Ballgame Court, during the field season headed by archaeologists Peter Jimenez and Laura Solar, who considered that it
must have fallen after a wall collapsed due to the passing of time

Reading Maya Art: A Hieroglyphic Guide to Ancient Maya Painting and Sculpture
By Andrea Stone & Marc Zender
ISBN: 9780500051689
Maya art is a rare combination of linear elegance and naturalism, blended with dazzling symbolic
complexity. Decorated objects, ranging from painted vases and carved jade and shell ornaments to
towering stone monuments and building façades, bear the traces of a symbol system that, while
fascinating, can make an understanding of these images elusive to the uninitiated…

COMPETITIONS - Danish/Norwegian team wins competition for Asker Sentrum Asker - Norway
Asker Municipality in Norway continues its urban development towards a larger, more dynamic
city centre. DARK, ADEPT and a consultant team have just won the international competition
for city development and expansion of Asker Centre. Their project proposal “In the Loop”
presents a unified, urban city for sports and social experiences.
COMPETITIONS - Kaohsiung Port Station Urban Design Competition
Winning Proposal by de Architekten Cie. - Kaohsiung - Taiwan - China
De Architekten Cie., Jason Lee and Patrick Koschuch, has won the open
international Kaohsiung Port Station Urban Design competition in Kaohsiung,
Taiwan.
The competition was initiated by the city government of Kaohsiung to transform the
derelict site of the old railyards and port station from a barrier between two
important areas of the city (the Hamasen and Yancheng districts), into a connective
piece of the urban fabric. The stated ambitions by the client for the 15.42 hectare site are to highlight the cultural heritage
of the site’s former function while introducing new programmes and building volume to accommodate city expansion. These
twin objectives are to be achieved in a phaseable and highly sustainable manner. Since a large portion of the site and
existing railway buildings are designated as historical monuments, the central challenge of the brief was to strike a balance
between the desire for cultural preservation/revitalization, introducing new development onto the site, and establishing
enough connections across site to transform the area from an urban barrier into an urban connector.

COMPETITIONS - Architects in Mission Architecture Competition: "Post- Industry Age, Green

This year the Architects In Mission (AIM) competition committee is hosting its annual competition for
architecture students and young professionals to demonstrate their design skills and abilities. The topic
this year is “Post-Industry Age, Green Transformation” where participants will be asked to redesign a
Beijing steel factory, the biggest in China.
COMPETITIONS - Competition Entry for Extension of Serlachius Museum Gösta /
PRAUD - Mäntta - Finland
Praud recently shared with us their entry for the Extension of Serlachius Museum Gösta
competition. The site has a strong advantage of having very fabulous landscape view
towards lake as well as forest. Hence, the big idea in massing is to create view points
towards those scenarios and it becomes an architectural logic of the form of the building.
The first step they took was creating courtyard, just as typical museum typologies, as a void
so that the museum has its vertical relationship to sky and outdoor exhibition space as well.
Because of the massive surface they needed to deal with, they folded the mass into half so that it can be more efficient and
compact building per se.

COMPETITION - The Greatest Grid: A Call for Ideas - New York City. NY (USA) Deadline for submission: 26
September 2011
On the occasion of the two hundredth anniversary of the 1811 Commissioners’ Plan for New York, the foundational
document that established the Manhattan street plan from Houston Street to 155th Street, the Architectural League invites
architects, landscape architects, urban designers, and other design professionals to use the Manhattan street grid as a
catalyst for thinking about the present and future of New York. For two centuries, the Manhattan street grid has
demonstrated an astonishing flexibility to accommodate the architectural gestures and urban planning theories of
successive generations of architects, urban designers, private developers, and city officials. Given its capacity for
reinvention, how might the Manhattan grid continue to adapt and respond to the challenges and opportunities–both large
and small–that New York faces now and into the future?

creativity of Cranbrook's artists. The Troy-based Kresge foundation received more than 450 applications for this year's
grants, which are given annually to artists living in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. The twelve fellows were selected
by a jury of regional and national arts professionals and artists that included Fred Wilson and Nick Cave. Now in its third
year, the Kresge fellowship program has awarded $1.35 million to 51 visual, performing and literary artists.

PRIZES - Rome Prize. Rome (Italy) April 2012 - Deadline for Applications: 1
November 2011
Each year, the Rome Prize is awarded to thirty emerging artists and scholars in the early or
middle stages of their careers who represent the highest standard of excellence in the arts
and humanities.
Each Rome Prize winner is provided with a stipend, meals, a bedroom with private bath, and
a study or studio. Those with children under 18 live in partially subsidized apartments
nearby. Winners of 6-month and 11-month fellowships receive stipends of $13,000 and
$26,000, respectively.
Owing to the fluctuating dollar/euro exchange rate and the high cost of living in Rome, the stipends offered may not cover
all expenses. This is especially true for prize winners who come to Rome with spouses, companions and/or children.
Fellowships generally begin at the Academy in early September and end in early August. Winners of the 11-month Rome
Prize fellowships may select to depart the Academy after nine months with no reduction to the fellowship stipend.

Choice Award.
During the European Heritage Awards Ceremony at Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the
Executive President of Europa Nostra, Denis de Kergorlay announced the winners and said:
"As a result of our members vote, I am pleased to announce to you not one but two
winners: since two projects got exactly the same amount of votes. Two remarkable projects,
geographically very remote from each other. One situated in the heart of the Balkans. The other located in the centre of
the capital of Europe. Two projects which are architecturally very different but two projects which in their essence are in
fact very similar: both of them seek to use cultural heritage to promote mutual understanding and respect between various
cultures and religions."

New York State Museum Biologists Map Strategy to Save Adirondack Spruce Grouse
- New York - New York State - USA
Genetic analysis at the state museum confirms what biologists squishing through Adirondack
bogs already knew: New York's population of the spruce grouse, a chicken-like bird of the
boreal forest, is nearing extinction.
Avid birders travel great distances to glimpse rare boreal species in the cool, moist forests of
the Adirondacks and other Northeastern mountains. While boreal species — including the
boreal chickadee, Bicknell's thrush, blackpoll warbler and gray jay — are plentiful further
north in Canada, biologists say global climate change and habitat loss are driving them out of the southern reaches of their

Cette année, des réserves de biosphère ont été inscrites pour la première fois en Lituanie,
aux Maldives, à Saint-Kitts-et-Nevis et au Togo. Pour sa part, l’Australie a décidé de retirer
l’île Macquarie du Réseau mondial de réserves de biosphère car cette dernière ne compte aucun habitant alors qu’il s’agit
d’un critère du réseau mondial depuis 1995.

Rapport sur l'impact du tsunami dans les Iles Galapagos
Dix-huit heures après le tsunami catastrophique du 11 mars dernier au Japon, ses vagues ont
croisés les îles Galápagos. Heureusement, l'énergie des vagues avait quelque peu dissipée, et la
population locale, ayant reçu un avertissement avancé, s'était dirigé vers des terres plus
élevées. Les vagues ont frappé en fin d'après midi (heure de Galápagos), causant des
dommages importants à certains bâtiments situés près du bord de l'eau. Le laboratoire de
biologie marine et les équipements de la station de recherche scientifique Charles Darwin
(CDRS) ont été largement détruits. Le laboratoire joue un rôle important dans la réalisation des
travaux de surveillance maritime, qui alimentait le travail de gestion du Service de Parc National Galapagos.

PARADISE IN PERIL: 30 min video on Rio Platano
The Río Platáno Biosphere Reserve, Honduras – home to the highest level of tropical
biodiversity in Central America, homeland of the Pech and Miskito Indians, and keeper
of hundreds of unexplored archeological sites – is in danger. Non-indians are invading
the Reserve from all sides, poaching endangered wildlife and fish, slashing and burning
ancient forests to sow pastures, and forcing indigenous inhabitants off their ancestral
lands. Paradise in Peril follows an expedition organized to document the destruction of
this UNESCO World Heritage Site and collect testimony from the native peoples who
rely on the Río Platáno for survival.

Camera captures tiger cubs in forest under imminent threat of clearing Pekanbaru - Indonesia
The forest where the tigers were recorded is under imminent threat of being cleared by
the pulp and paper industry, despite being designated a “global priority Tiger
Conservation Landscape”. It is one of six the government of Indonesia pledged to
protect at last November’s tiger summit of world leaders in Russia. The area, known as
Bukit Tigapuluh, or “Thirty Hills”, is located in Riau and Jambi provinces in Central
Sumatra.
There are an estimated 400 critically endangered Sumatran tigers left in the wild. Evidence of three cubs surviving is
extremely rare, WWF tiger experts said, and was captured by cameras located in the forest that are triggered by infrared
sensors.

The Government of Mozambique has also approved the proposal for the designation of
Lake Niassa as a Ramsar site, including not only the reserve, but surrounding wetlands
and watershed. This wetland will be the second Ramsar site for Mozambique after the
declaration of Marromeu Complex in 2003.

Astrolabe: a guide to education for sustainable development coordination in Asia and the
Pacific
© UNESCO 2011
ISBN 978-92-9223-365-5 (Print version)
ISBN 978-92-9223-366-2 (Electronic version)
This guide booklet is a resource for using the Asia-Pacific Education for Sustainable Development
(ESD) Astrolabe and to assist UNESCO Member States and stakeholders in adapting its contents at
the national or sub-regional level.
The guide is the product of an Asia-Pacific collaborative effort, sponsored by Japanese Funds-in-Trust. It provides a tool for
bringing together partners in education from across sectors to share experiences and move ESD forward in a coordinated
manner.
This booklet strives to incorporate, as much as possible, the lessons learned and valuable feedback from participants of the
six sub-regional ESD Coordination and Capacity Development consultation workshops that were convened, with funding
from Japanese Funds-in-Trust, in the Asia-Pacific region in 2008 and 2009. Based on these stakeholder consultations, the
guide booklet suggests processes for using the Astrolabe tool, key stakeholders to engage in discussions, practical
examples to build on and recommendations for adapting the tool in practice.

(Fondation pour la Recherche sur la Biodiversité)
Directeur de la publication : Xavier Le Roux
ISBN : 978-2-9539194-1-7
La mission originale de la Fondation pour la Recherche sur la Biodiversité (FRB) est de mettre en synergie
la recherche française sur la biodiversité et les enjeux des acteurs de la société. Par « biodiversité » on
entend la variabilité du tissu vivant de la Terre, à toutes les échelles, de la molécule à l’écosystème et au
paysage. On entend également les usages de la biodiversité, sa valeur patrimoniale et économique, sa
valorisation et sa protection. L’Humanité en fait partie, acteur et sujet.
Pour réaliser sa mission, la FRB dispose d’une structure originale. Le Conseil d’Orientation Stratégique (COD), qui regroupe
tous les porteurs d’enjeux du domaine de la biodiversité (ONG, entreprises, gestionnaires d’espaces, gestionnaires de
ressources génétiques, agriculteurs, collectivités territoriales, etc…).

COMPETITIONS- WIKI loves monuments launches a partnership with Europa Nostra
Wiki Loves Monuments is a public photo contest around European monuments, initiated by the
Wikimedia chapter in the Netherlands. In September 2011 it will be extended to several European
countries. The contest is organised in a federative way, so the procedures on a national level might
differ from country to country. The basic concept is that people are invited to upload images of
monumental objects under a free license for usage on Wikipedia. They want to try to get complete
lists of these monuments on Wikipedia, including photos, giving a great and unique overview of the
cultural heritage in Europe.
Creative Alliance Cafe / PI.KL Studio and Kroiz Architecture - Baltimore - Maryland
- USA
The Café at the Creative Alliance is the last piece of a 10-year redevelopment of the former
Patterson Theater into an urban arts center and community anchor. Budget constraints and
the challenge of actually fitting a commercial kitchen, bar and dining room into the
remaining 1,300 sqf had delayed the build-out of the space for almost a decade and a
successful design relied on formal restraint and an opportunistic attitude to all possibilities.

L'initiative privée, individuelle ou associative, est à l'origine du mouvement de la protection du patrimoine

protection de l'intégrité physique du patrimoine architectural, et ceux qui assurent son financement.
Rentabilité économique et impact social deviennent les nouveaux moteurs du milieu associatif. Ce qui se

Second home development will destroy Greece's environment and economy
Our Greek member organisation Elliniki Etairia - The Hellenic Society for the Protection of the
Environment and the Cultural Heritage is campaigning against irresponsible policies promoting
second home development on the coastline of Greece and is calling for help to collect signatures
via an online form.
They protest against moves to promote further widespread second home construction
throughout Greece, which will endanger the exceptional landscape of the coast line and islands.
Private second home development could only help repay the debt of Greece once potential
success is translated into increased tax revenues. Under the most favorable conceivable circumstances this will take many
years.

Pour les populations habitant les petites îles et les côtes du monde entier, depuis les tropiques jusqu’à
l’Arctique, le changement climatique est vécu comme une réalité, soit qu’il s’exprime par la fréquence
croissante des événements climatiques extrêmes, l’acidification de l’océan, la fonte des glaces de
l’Arctique, soit par la perspective d’une montée du niveau de la mer. Le Secrétaire général des Nations
Unies, Ban Ki-Moon, a déclaré que le changement climatique était « le problème majeur et la marque de notre époque ».
Ceci n’est jamais aussi vrai que dans les petites îles et les zones côtières, régions qui attirent une part de la population
mondiale toujours croissante.

Coltrane House, Chicago Hospital Called Endangered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation - USA
Jazz musician John Coltrane's home on Long Island, N.Y., a cloverleaf-shaped Chicago hospital building and a Pillsbury
plant in Minneapolis that once was the world's most advanced flour mill are among America's 11 Most Endangered Historic
Places.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation on Wednesday also made the unusual move of listing an entire city —
Charleston, S.C. — on "watch status." The group says expanding cruise ship tourism could harm the city's historic
character.
Specific sites in Alabama, California, Minnesota, New Mexico, South Dakota, Virginia and Wisconsin also made the list,
including a historic Chinatown called China Alley in California's San Joaquin Valley that began when immigrants arrived in
1877. There are no local historic preservation officials to enforce laws protecting such sites, according to the National Trust.

La manovra finanziaria risparmia i beni culturali
È una notizia inaspettata il fatto che la manovra finanziaria del ministro dell’economia Tremonti non
abbia compreso i beni culturali nei suoi numerosi tagli. In effetti, tutti sarebbero rimasti meno
sorpresi dall’ipotesi inversa: dopo i 58 milioni di euro sottratti agli enti culturali nel 2011, i conti in
rosso dei teatri italiani, le occupazioni pacifiche dei lavoratori dello spettacolo, gli scioperi della fame e
le trasformazioni di cinema in spazi ospitanti più redditizie slot machines, trovare tra i capitoli del
documento finanziario che il MiBAC non sarà interessato dai tagli orizzontali apportati dal Governo per
pareggiare il Bilancio, è senza dubbio una sorpresa.

Woodlawn Cemetery Designated National Historic Landmark - New York - New York
- USA
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today announced that The Woodlawn Cemetery has
been designated a National Historic Landmark—the highest recognition accorded to the
nation’s most historically significant properties. Woodlawn, which will celebrate its 150th
anniversary beginning next year, is one of the nation’s finest examples of a 19th-century
garden cemetery. It is home to the largest and most distinguished collection of historic
mausoleums in the nation, and is a still active cemetery. The designation recognizes its
outstanding landscape design and collection of art and architecture. The designation also recognizes Woodlawn’s significant
role in memorializing and celebrating prominent Americans, who shaped American history and culture. Since Woodlawn’s
founding in 1863, 310,000 people—from Gilded Age magnates to pioneers for women’s rights to Harlem Renaissance
writers and musicians, as well as artists, athletes, and ordinary citizens— have been interred on the cemetery’s 400 acres.

conservateurs ou sauver un monastère de la ruine: tels sont les exemples de travaux réalisés
par des milliers de bénévoles et de professionnels pour préserver l'histoire architecturale de
l'Europe.
Tous ces passionnés ont œuvré pour conserver les bâtiments, les structures, les fortifications
et les ouvrages d'art qui constituent notre patrimoine culturel commun.
L'Union européenne récompense chaque année ces efforts dans le cadre du Prix du patrimoine culturel, également connu
sous le nom de Concours Europa Nostra. Vingt-sept lauréats ont été désignés cette année.
Six d'entre eux recevront en outre 10 000 euros chacun pour leur «contribution exemplaire».

UNESCO's Culture for Development Indicator Suite for Bosnia and Herzegovina
Presented
UNESCO's Culture for Development Indicator Suite for Bosnia and Herzegovina was officially
presented on July 5, 2011 as the sole document which recognizes importance and contribution
of culture in development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the research, contribution of
cultural activities to GDP of B-H in 2009 was 6.7% or 1.6 billion BAM. The expenditure for
culture on all levels of government in B-H in 2009 was 123,4 million BAM or 36 BAM per capita.
“UNESCO’s research shows that culture in B-H contributes to the development, creates new
jobs and generates income, thus not being only expense as some often tend to present it. Besides the significance in
cultural sense, cultural and creative industries have economic significance of great importance, reflected in contribution to
employment and new value generating. This document will provide elements which will enable creation of cultural policies
and strategies”, said Sredoje Novic, Minister of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

(en italien) Beni culturali in guerra
L’entrata in guerra di un paese, più o meno sviluppato che sia, ha delle conseguenze, sociali
ed economiche, non trascurabili: l’aspetto prioritario che viene giustamente considerato
riguarda in prima istanza la perdita di vite umane a cui segue il degrado territoriale cui
vengono ridotte intere zone del paese, l’improduttività generale e l’ingente sforzo, sia
economico che sociale, richiesto alla popolazione per debellare il nemico.
A questi fattori si aggiungono, in molti casi, ulteriori elementi che, data la loro insostituibile
ricchezza, vengono spesso utilizzati per lanciare ricatti o indirizzare precise pressioni
all’avversario politico e militare: i beni culturali.

CALL FOR ACADEMIC SUPPORT - HONG KONG GOVERNMENT HILL AT THREAT - China
This website shows the history of our Government Hill where our Hong Kong Government
Offices have been for over 150 years.
Volunteers of the Government Hill Concern Group offer tours so that everyone can see, and
learn more about their "Government Hill".
In 2012 the Hong Kong Government is moving half of the Central Government Office functions
from Government Hill to the harbourfront Tamar site.
This creates an opportunity for the community to use half of the land - the so-called "West
Wing" - for uses that benefit the community.
Government, instead, has proposed selling half the site to a developer. This would destroy all the historical elements of the
West Wing and half of Government Hill. There are many other options.
We promote a heritage-led Government Hill project to conserve all historic buildings and tunnels, and create a community
asset for the public enjoyment of our heritage and open space.

The "European Heritage Alliance 3.3" launched by Europa Nostra in Amsterdam - The Netherlands
The “European Heritage Alliance 3.3.” was recently launched by more than 25 European and International networks and
organisations active in the wider field of cultural heritage on the occasion of the European Heritage Congress 2011
organised by Europa Nostra in Amsterdam. Europa Nostra will be acting as the facilitator of this newly created alliance.
Patrimoine Culturel
The name of this newly created Alliance refers to the article 3.3. of the consolidated version of the Lisbon Treaty of the
European Union which stipulates that “[The Union] shall respect its rich cultural and linguistic diversity, and shall ensure
that Europe’s cultural heritage is safeguarded and enhanced.” The organisations and networks represented at the
constitutive meeting of the Alliance intend to advocate together the necessity to develop a future EU strategy for cultural
and natural heritage, in compliance with article 3.3. of the Treaty, and will seek to develop stronger synergies between
their respective activities with regard to European policy.

Cultural Diversity, Heritage and Human Rights: Intersections in Theory and Practice
Edited by Michele Langfield, William Logan, Mairead Nic Craith
ISBN: 978-0-415-56367-3
Published 30th November 2009 by Routledge – 272 pages
This theoretically innovative anthology investigates the problematic linkages between conserving cultural
heritage, maintaining cultural diversity, defining and establishing cultural citizenship, and enforcing human
rights.
It is the first publication to address the notions of cultural diversity, cultural heritage and human rights in
one volume. Heritage provides the basis of humanity’s rich cultural diversity. While there is a considerable literature dealing
separately with cultural diversity, cultural heritage and human rights, this book is distinctive and has contemporary
relevance in focusing on the intersection between the three concepts. Cultural Diversity, Heritage and Human Rights
establishes a fresh approach that will interest students and practitioners alike and on which future work in the heritage field
might proceed.

From the Barracks to the Burrup: The National Trust in Western Australia
By Andrea Witcomb & Kate Gregory
ISBN: 978-1921410246
UNSW Press, December 2009, 352pp, HB , 230x230mm
Published to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the National Trust in Western Australia, this
beautifully designed book contains never-before-published images and draws from a new oral history
archive with testimonies from many of the founders, staff and volunteers of the organisation. Heritage
battles for the Barracks Arch, the Palace Hotel, the Swan River and the Swan Brewery are covered, as
well as the integral role played by grassroots heritage groups. Relations between the Trust, developers and the State
Government and changing practices of interpretation and conservation are also discussed. What emerges is not only a
history of the National Trust in Western Australia but also the people that shaped it. It is also a history of the ways in which
heritage has been understood and practised across Australia.

Twelve houses restored in Japan and Italy
By Olimpia Niglio and Taisuke Kuroda
ISBN: 978-88-548-4148-2
The restoration of architecture in a nation is a project strictly connected to its culture, its society, as well as
to the weather conditions and to its political and economic background. The contemporary culture, in
particular, has developed an awareness of the fact that the main purpose of the conservation of
monuments and landscape is not only protecting the matter of social well but also its intrinsic values,
strongly connected to the sense of belonging to the place. The necessity of searching these values comes
from the need of knowledge of the different cultural references that permit to man to direct his choices as concerns
conservation and safeguard compared to popular areas of interest apparently of less importance but vivid from the cultural
and social point of view.
And this is the birth of the relationship between values and needs connected to the demand of transformation of urban and
housing contexts. On these assumptions the book Twelve houses restored in Italy and Japan focuses on restoration
projects of historical urban contexts, where the theme of living produced changes, influenced different intervention
Patrimoine Culturel
methods and functional choices without changing the sign of history. The book wants to introduce restoration projects
comparing different cultural realities and architectonical methods that characterized the present situation in Italy and
Japan. The experiences described in the book notice an interesting sharing among the different methods of restoration.

Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History (Fourth edition)
By Stephen F. Eisenman & Thomas Crow
ISBN: 9780500289242
The nineteenth century was a time of questioning, experimentation, discovery and modernization. Artists
and designers challenged, as never before, prevailing definitions of art and the social order.
Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History embraces many aspects of the so- called ‘new’ art history –
attention to issues of class and gender, reception and spectatorship, racism and Eurocentrism, popular
and élite culture, the question of the canon – while at the same time recovering the remarkable vitality,
salience and subversiveness of the era’s best art.

Biography of J. Wilkinson Elliott (1858-1939) An entrepreneurial plantsman and
designer, Elliott authored the seminal book A Plea for Hardy Plants.
James Wilkinson Elliott was born on February 6, 1858, in Reserve Township, Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania. His interest in horticulture came through the family line: his
grandfather, William R. Elliott, founded a nursery in Pittsburgh in 1840 and began publishing a
catalogue in 1847. His father, Benjamin A. Elliott, worked in the firm from his mid-teens and
entered into a partnership to found his own nursery in 1870. He published a book and
catalogue for ten years beginning in 1884 that showed his interest in landscape design.

The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF-USA) is seeking additional information on George
Byron Moulder (USA, 1869-1959)
George Moulder was born in Warren County Kentucky. He spent many years working in Nashville,
Tennessee, and was connected to The Hermitage and Centennial Park. The Hermitage is the 1120acre Nashville plantation home of President Andrew Jackson. The gardens have been redesigned
many times. A drawing signed by Moulder indicates his involvement. In 1917, Moulder was hired by
the park board as a horticulturist for the creation of Centennial Park. Additionally in 1930, he
authored a book The Parthenon at Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A., a history of the Nashville pavilion at
the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.

Building Consensus About Bridging a Divide - The Nature-Culture Symposium at

The Jay Heritage Center in Rye, New York, pulled double duty on June 4, 2011—it was both
site for the daylong symposium “Bridging the Nature-Culture Divide” and a leading example
of conference’s topic. The 23-acre, centuries old site on the historic Boston Post Road was at
its nadir in 1992 when the grassroots actions of more than 62 historic and environmental
groups and the five founding women of the Jay Coalition (and today's Jay Heritage Center),
intervened to save it. The Center’s determination and progress was a frequent reference
point in examining the challenges and opportunities that come with balancing landscape design and environmental
stewardship.

Fate of Margaret Thomas' Garden in Question - Herndon Virginia - USA
Margaret Thomas passed away on May 25, 2011, at the age of 89.
Ms. Thomas became nationally known for the design of her 5.4-acre
iris garden located in Herndon, Virginia. The garden was featured in
TCLF's Landslide 2006: Spotlight on the Garden, named one of 18
Great Endangered American Gardens.
Ms. Thomas kept her garden open to the public, and it was her
hope that the space could be preserved as a park for the enjoyment of all. While the garden has recently been maintained
by volunteers, past attempts made to sell the land to Fairfax County to preserve it for public use were unsuccessful.
According to Fairfax County, the property did not meet the county’s land acquisition requirements. Now, with Ms. Thomas’,
Paysages culturels

A non-profit, Friends of Margaret’s Gardens was created in 2002 to further efforts to preserve the garden. Supporters are

Outdoor Sculpture by Thomas Houseago at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh - United Kingdom
The first major outdoor exhibition of sculptures by the British artist Thomas Houseago ever to be staged, The Beat of the
Show comprises new and recent large-scale works, mostly in bronze and being exhibited for the first time. One of the most
original and compelling sculptors of his generation, Thomas Houseago is known for his often monumental sculptures which
subvert classical and modernist forms using a variety of materials (wood, clay, plaster, iron and steel); a synthesis of
abstraction and figuration, they clearly reveal the process of making and often contain elements of the drawing which lies
at their core.

Les paysages culturels ont été formés au cours d'une longue période par l'interaction humaine avec
les systèmes naturels. Ces interactions sont, dans le cas des paysages culturels sites du patrimoine
mondial, d'une valeur universelle exceptionnelle. La gestion de leurs traces matérielles et tangibles et
de leurs associations immatérielles, en vue de les transmettre aux générations futures, représente un
défi singulier pour les gestionnaires de paysages culturels du patrimoine mondial. Aujourd'hui, soixante-six paysages
culturels ont été inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial. Ce livre présente des idées qui méritent examen et des
questions qu'il convient d'aborder. À l'appui de ces informations, il fait état de politiques et d'études de cas provenant de
différentes parties du monde. Le Fonds-en-dépôt néerlandais a soutenu sa publication.

THE SECOND LIFE OF CALLIGRAPHY MASTERPIECES - UZBEKISTAN
The UNESCO office in Tashkent, with financial support from the Funds-in-Trust of the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia, launched a major project for the restoration of ancient manuscripts. Many of
these manuscripts are real mastererpieces of calligraphy and decoration.
The restoration project is located at the Al-Biruni Institute of Oriental Studies of Academy of
Sciences of Uzbekistan.
The manuscript fund for this institute was included in UNESCO's list of "Memory of the World"
in 2010.
To carry out the restoration and ensure optimal conditions for storing the manuscripts, more than 60 pieces of special
equipment have been employed, including a table with a safe manuscript illumination system, a device for measuring the
acidity of the manuscripts, and an apparatus for maintaining the precise temperature in the storage technology of
microfilming. This equipment was received from Italy by special order.
Digital Birth of Glass Negatives - Uzbekistan
Over the past two years, the UNESCO office in Tashkent has supported a project on the
digitization of antique glass negatives from the collections of regional museums. Starting with
field-works in 2008 at the Samarkand Regional Museum-Reserve collection, the project
widened to the Khiva and Bukhara Regional Museum-Reserves where collections of glass
negatives were preserved in 2010 by transferring them into digital format.
“In 2008, our museum, in cooperation with UNESCO, launched a project for the digitization of
the rare collection of glass negatives,” said Rakhim Kayumov, deputy director of the
Samarkand Regional Museum-Reserve.
“The goal of this project is to make an inventory and preservation of important historical documents. Following a thorough
inventory of existing glass and film negatives, now we have a significant number of digitized glass negatives in the museum
collection.

e-codices-Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland: 24 new manuscripts
At the beginning of June we added 24 new manuscripts to the site, among them several new highlights.
The Bibliothèque de Genève presents a Hebrew codex, containing cabalistic and magical texts, possibly
produced in the Ottoman Empire during the 15th century. In addition, the Zentralbibliothek Zürich now
offers three new 15th century manuscripts online, all three quite impressive, not least because of their
rich illustrations. Among these are the Codex Schürstab (Ms. C 54), a medical-astronomical home desk
reference, the Aurora consurgens (Ms. Rh. 172), with a collection of alchemical tracts, and an illustrationbased manuscript containing a compendium of late medieval war technology. (Ms. Rh. hist. 33b).

BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) Uploads 63,000 Paintings Online as It
Launches Your Paintings; Aims for 200,000 Works - United Kingdom
The BBC in partnership with the Public Catalogue Foundation (PCF) announced the launch of
Your Paintings, a project to create a complete catalogue of every oil painting in the national
collection, on a dedicated website.
In all, the national collection amounts to some 200,000 works, held in 3,000 galleries,
museums, libraries and public institutions all over the country, making it probably one of the
largest and most diverse collections of paintings in the world.
The first phase of Your Paintings went live yesterday, with over 60,000 paintings by 15,000 artists from 860 collections.
The site will feature online selections made by well known artists, historians and celebrities including Yinka Shonibare, Rory
Bremner, Frank Skinner, Dan Snow, Tracey Cox, Matt Baker, Gus Casely Hayford, Mary Beard, Alastair Sooke, Monty Don
and The Reduced Shakesspeare Company encouraging the public to take part in the development of this monumental
project, tagging works, and helping to classify paintings as they are uploaded to the site over the next eighteen months
towards completion by the end of 2012.

Mapping out the Research–Policy Matrix - Highlights from the First International Forum on the
Social Science-Policy Nexus
Highlights from the First International Forum on the Social Science-Policy Nexus
Edited by Germán Solinís and Nicolas Baya-Laffite. 2011
ISBN: 978-92-3-104176-1
Social science research provides not only abstract, conceptual knowledge about society but also concrete,
instrumental knowledge. It enables us to take action to recompose the world we live in. However, this book
rejects narrow and simplistic conceptions of research use and its impact on policy-making, to embrace a
more complex approach to seeing and dealing with social science.
In the paradigm of “evidence-based policy”, “evidence” is understood in its broad sense as information that helps form
policies. Nonetheless, within current practices and discourse, it is not clear what “information” is, what is really meant by
“evidence”, and how it can be obtained objectively.
The book draws on papers presented at the International Forum on the Social Science-Policy Nexus, where experts
examined current practices and problems in areas such as social policy, migration, urban policies and globalization. The
Forum set a precedent in terms of dialogue between researchers and policy-makers.
The authors contribute to enriching and elucidating the most common conceptualizations of the research- policy nexus.
They represent a rich diversity of views, although most agree that an effective strategy to enhance social science-policy
linkages should be underpinned by a theoretical and methodological framework that takes into account the interplay of
different social actors.

As the latest United Nations climate change talks reach their final stages, CARE
International, Greenpeace and WWF are calling on the world’s governments to show
leadership and unite on efforts to halt forest loss by 2020.
The details of a global mechanism to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation in developing countries (REDD+) were under negotiation at the climate talks
this week.

Climat: les forêts absorbent 1/3 du CO2 émis, attention à la déforestation
Le parc forestier mondial absorbe un tiers du CO2 émis par les combustibles fossiles
dans l'athmosphère, selon une étude internationale qui alerte, en parallèle, sur les
conséquences dramatiques de la déforestation dans le contexte du réchauffement
climatique.
Les forêts de la planète absorbent 2,4 milliards de tonnes de carbone par an, selon
cette première étude chiffrée de la contribution des forêts boréales, tropicales et des
régions tempérées au cycle du carbone.
La déforestation, elle, est responsable de l'émission de 2,9 milliards de tonnes par an, soit environ 26% du total des
émissions. Les émissions des combustibles fossiles se chiffrent, elles, à plus de 8 milliards de tonnes par an.

Clean cook stoves promote sustainability of local resources
By Emma Diab, Media Global, The voice of the Global South Clean cook stoves are helping to
decrease the use of fuel wood and promote the sustainability of local resources. These stoves
use 50 to 70 percent less fuel, usually in the form of wood or charcoal, the primary sources of
energy for many impoverished people in the world.
With almost half of all deforestation caused by subsistence agriculture, the portion dedicated to
wood fuel collection—5 percent—seems negligible in comparison. But, using wood for cooking or
heating in an area with a lack of trees exacerbates local resources, and hampers the
sustainability of these local environments.

Solar ovens, renewable energy offer hope for Afghanistan - Afghanistan
At first, she noticed Afghan children hauling brush. Then, in Afghan family compounds, she noticed women tending small
fires and trying to cook over them.
But it wasn't until U.S. diplomat Patricia McArdle realized how often it was sunny in Afghanistan that she put it together
with a youthful memory of cooking with solar ovens and realized this was a low-tech option offering long-term hope to the
war-torn nation, which is preparing for a draw-down of U.S. troops.

Reforming Forest Tenure: Issues principles and process
© FAO 2011
ISBN 978-92-5-106855-7
In the past decade many countries have initiated efforts to reform their tenure arrangements for forests
and forest land, moving towards the devolution of access and management rights to non-State
stakeholders, mainly households, private companies and communities. It is now widely recognized that
secure tenure arrangements are one important prerequisite for achieving sustainable forest management –
albeit not the only one. Tenure of forest, land and carbon has also become an important issue in efforts to
reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.

Researchers from California Institute of Technology Take Dinosaurs Temperature with Teeth - Pasadena California - USA
Scientists in California say they have for the first time devised a way to accurately take the body temperatures of dinosaurs
-- by examining the creatures' teeth.
Chemical analysis of the Jurassic period fossil teeth from two sauropods -- long-tailed, long-necked dinosaurs that rank
among the largest land animals ever to roam the Earth -- showed they were about as warm as most modern mammals.
But they also were cooler than some experts had predicted for animals of such gigantic size.
The findings from a team led by researchers at the California Institute of Technology were published Thursday in an online
edition of the journal Science.
Mostra permanente di MINERALI ROCCE E SUOLI - Universita della Montagna con sede a Edolo - Italy

Studi di Milano) ospita due mostre che è possibile visitare gratuitamente negli orari sotto riportati.
“MOSTRA PERMANENTE DI MINERALI, ROCCE E SUOLI”
La mostra segue un itinerario concettuale: dai minerali alle rocce e da queste ai suoli su cui insistono le attività antropiche,
agricole, forestali, industriali, infrastrutturali.
La mostra rimarrà permanentemente a disposizione della cittadinanza e, in particolar modo, è rivolta a stimolare l'interesse
dei bambini e dei giovani, dalle scuole materne alla università, per le risorse naturali delle montagne alpine. Saranno
gradite visite guidate di scolaresche in orari concordati in precedenza.
I monoliti esposti presentano profili e foto di suoli tipici della Valle Camonica e di molte valli alpine.

New Jersey Fossil Dig Endangered by Low Cost Housing and Retail Development Plan - Mantua Township - New
Jersey - USA
Paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara is looking deep in a New Jersey silt mine for the exact moment, 65 million years ago,
when all dinosaurs perished.
That secret could be harder to uncover if the fossils here can no longer be unearthed after a housing and retail
development is built on this open pit.
Lacovara, an associate professor of biology at Drexel University in Philadelphia, looks at this 40-foot deep hole at the end
of a dirt road and sees a line in the sand where the Cretaceous period begins and ends. Below that line are dinosaurs,
above it, not a single one.

Retour sur l'éruption du volcan Grimsvötn - Islande
Le souvenir de l'éruption de l'Eyjafjallajökull en mars 2010 est encore assez présent dans les esprits pour que l'on se

D'autant que, comme son célèbre prédécesseur, le Grimsvötn est situé sous un glacier, le Vatnajökull, l'éruption se
traduisant également par un panache de cendres émis dans l'atmosphère, produit par fragmentation du magma au contact
de la glace (et de l'eau sous-jacente).

Des cocons de guêpes dans un œuf de dinosaure
Par JORGE F. GENISE et LAURA C. SARZETTI Des fossiles exceptionnellement préservés de cocons
d’insectes ont été découverts dans des œufs de dinosaures vieux de 70 millions d’années.
Ces œufs de titanosaures proviennent d’un site archéologique argentin, en Patagonie, bien connu. Ils ont
été découverts en 1989 mais ce n’est que récemment qu’on a trouvé à l’intérieur d’un de ces œufs des
structures de 2 à 3 cm de long sur 1 cm de diamètre qui font penser à des cocons d’insectes dont les plus
semblables sont ceux construits par certaines espèces de guêpes modernes comme le décrit Jorge Genise
du Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales dans la revue Palaeontology.

Deep Diamonds Shed Light on Ancient Continental Movements
Earth's tectonic plates, immense slabs of rock that bump and scrape past each other to cause
earthquakes and trigger volcanism, are some of the world's largest geological structures. But
exactly when these plates first began jostling around as they do today has long been a
subject of lively debate. Now, scientists who've analyzed some of the planet's tiniest
geological structures—the mineral imperfections inside diamonds—contend that modern-style
plate tectonics began about 3 billion years ago.

Deep-sea mud in the Pacific Ocean as a potential resource for rare-earth elements
By Yasuhiro Kato, Koichiro Fujinaga, Kentaro Nakamura, Yutaro Takaya, Kenichi Kitamura, Junichiro Ohta, Ryuichi Toda,
Takuya Nakashima & Hikaru Iwamori World demand for rare-earth elements and the metal yttrium—which are crucial for
novel electronic equipment and green-energy technologies—is increasing rapidly. Several types of seafloor sediment
harbour high concentrations of these elements. However, seafloor sediments have not been regarded as a rare-earth
element and yttrium resource, because data on the spatial distribution of these deposits are insufficient. Here, we report
measurements of the elemental composition of over 2,000 seafloor sediments, sampled at depth intervals of around one
metre, at 78 sites that cover a large part of the Pacific Ocean…

Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) Calls on U.S. and Libya to Protect World Heritage Sites
The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) urges caution in the wake of recent reports that military action is taking place
at the Libyan World Heritage sites of the Old Town of Ghadamès and Leptis Magna, exposing both to potential damage or
destruction.
The Old Town of Ghadamès, known as “the pearl of the desert,” was shelled over the weekend, according to media reports.
The London Times reported, “Gaddafi’s forces took over the ruins of Leptis Magna as a base for operations,” and said that
Libyan government troops moved rockets and munitions into this World Heritage Site. If true, this action may have placed
this unique archaeological site under direct threat of attack.

Publica UNESCO La Habana artículo sobre Patrimonio Cultural Subacuático
La publicación alerta sobre los peligros de la destrucción de estos valiosos sitios patrimoniales
sumergidos, pues el acceso a la tecnología de exploración subacuática no sólo está en manos de la
comunidad arqueológica que, consciente del valor cultural e histórico de dicho patrimonio, desarrolla
técnicas de estudio científico, análisis, registro, interpretación y conservación. También tienen acceso a
ella los cazadores de tesoros, personas que buscan sitios donde supuestamente hay bienes explotables
desde el punto de vista comercial y en pos del lucro los saquean y destruyen.

Presente UNESCO La Habana en IX Encuentro Internacional sobre Manejo y Gestión de Centros Históricos
Los encuentros sobre Manejo y gestión de centros históricos, iniciados en 1995, cuentan con el apoyo de la UNESCO para
su difusión internacional y en cada edición debaten sobre logros y deficiencias en un determinado tema patrimonial. En
esta jornada el tema central es El derecho ciudadano a los hitos urbanos: grandes estructuras antiguas en función de
nuevas centralidades.
La Habana Vieja, primera ciudad del Caribe insular inscrita en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO que hoy
integran 126 Estados de la región, 20 de ellos en el Caribe, es un sitio del patrimonio mundial que cada vez asume retos
mayores, al vincular el patrimonio y el desarrollo local. El positivo acercamiento a la conservación del centro histórico de la
capital cubana, que permite guardar su contexto y controlar acciones e intervenciones inapropiadas con un singular modelo
de gestión, resulta una experiencia singular conocida y referente de interés para diversos estudios.

A Tale of Two Towns: Preservation in Small Town. Sadieville, Kentucky (USA)
Eatonville, Florida (pop. 2000), “The Town That Freedom Built,” was the first incorporated
African American town in the United States. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, as
violence and discrimination escalated, African Americans often joined together in communities,
buying land where they could.
Incorporated in 1887, Eatonville became nationally known due to its most famous resident,
Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960). Hurston, whose best-known work is Their Eyes Were
Watching God, was a novelist, folklorist and anthropologist and a leading light of the Harlem
Renaissance. Her insight into the culture of southern blacks not only put Eatonville on the map, it also preserved the
culture for future generations.

COMPETITIONS - Kaohsiung Port Station Urban Design Competition
Winning Proposal by de Architekten Cie. - Kaohsiung - Taiwan - China
De Architekten Cie., Jason Lee and Patrick Koschuch, has won the open
international Kaohsiung Port Station Urban Design competition in Kaohsiung,
Taiwan.
The competition was initiated by the city government of Kaohsiung to transform the
derelict site of the old railyards and port station from a barrier between two
important areas of the city (the Hamasen and Yancheng districts), into a connective
piece of the urban fabric. The stated ambitions by the client for the 15.42 hectare site are to highlight the cultural heritage
of the site’s former function while introducing new programmes and building volume to accommodate city expansion. These
twin objectives are to be achieved in a phaseable and highly sustainable manner. Since a large portion of the site and
existing railway buildings are designated as historical monuments, the central challenge of the brief was to strike a balance
between the desire for cultural preservation/revitalization, introducing new development onto the site, and establishing
enough connections across site to transform the area from an urban barrier into an urban connector.
Architecture City Guide: London - London - United Kingdom
This week, with the help of our readers, our Architecture City Guide is headed to London.
This is our second stop in Europe, and once again I had to capitulate and double the
number of buildings that we normally feature. We could not feature all of the
suggestions, and will be adding to the list in the near future. We really appreciate those
readers who offered their suggestions and the use of their pictures to make up this list.
Samuel Johnson famously said, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” As
home to a long tradition of kings and queens, the Royal Society, and the roots of the
Industrial Revolution, it is not surprising that there is a rich tension and collaboration between the historic and
contemporary architecture in London.
Architecture City Guide: Copenhagen - Copenhagen - Denmark
This week, with the help of our readers, our Architecture City Guide is headed to
Copenhagen. This is our first stop in Europe, and admittedly the selection was not
completely unbiased. While studying at the Danish Building Research Institute a few
years ago I couldn’t help but fall in love with Copenhagen’s architecture. The Danish
attention to detail is absolutely stunning. Besides the wonderful historic architecture,
Copenhagen is filled with contemporary architecture of the highest quality. Remarkably,
you rarely find the new clashing with the old. More often than not, the contemporary
architecture in Copenhagen actually heightens the experience of the historic buildings and streets.
International Workshop - "Samarkand- Crossroads of Cultures" (Samarkand, Uzbekistan,
2010)
The international workshop for creating a management plan for the UNESCO World Heritage Site
"Samarkand - Crossroads of Cultures" was held Oct. 25-28, 2010 in Samarkand.
The main goal was to develop an action plan for the further development of management and
conservation directives for Samarkand, a World Heritage city.
Experts in the field of architecture and urban planning in Uzbekistan and well as international experts,
representatives of UNESCO and other advisory bodies took part
in the workshop. The event focused on revising the condition of the city and its monuments as well as discussing issues of
international experience in urban planning and the development of management plans in other cities around the world and
their similarities to Samarkand.
COMPETITION - The Greatest Grid: A Call for Ideas - New York City. NY (USA) Deadline for submission: 26
September 2011
On the occasion of the two hundredth anniversary of the 1811 Commissioners’ Plan for New York, the foundational
document that established the Manhattan street plan from Houston Street to 155th Street, the Architectural League invites
architects, landscape architects, urban designers, and other design professionals to use the Manhattan street grid as a
catalyst for thinking about the present and future of New York. For two centuries, the Manhattan street grid has
demonstrated an astonishing flexibility to accommodate the architectural gestures and urban planning theories of
successive generations of architects, urban designers, private developers, and city officials. Given its capacity for
reinvention, how might the Manhattan grid continue to adapt and respond to the challenges and opportunities–both large
and small–that New York faces now and into the future?

Banque mondiale Robert B. Zoellick est revenu sur les conclusions d’une nouvelle
étude de la Banque mondiale consacrée à l’impact du changement climatique et au
risque de catastrophes naturelles pour les populations pauvres des villes (Climate
Change, Disaster Risk and the Urban Poor).
À l’heure actuelle, les villes sont responsables de plus de 80 % des émissions
mondiales de gaz à effet de serre (GES). Quant aux quarante grandes villes engagées dans ce mouvement qui vise à
s’attaquer au défi du changement climatique — baptisé « Cities 40 » et plus communément appelé « C40 » — elles sont
responsables de 12 % des émissions mondiales de GES.

REVITALIZATION OF TRADITIONAL CRAFTS IN UZBEKISTAN
The revival, development and promotion of the cultural heritage of
Uzbekistan are perhaps the main objectives of UNESCO’s activities in
Uzbekistan. The most striking projects within this direction are the revival
of traditional ceramics of Uzbekistan, safeguarding of the cultural space of
the Boysun region (which includes the revival of the region’s handicrafts),
and support of the revitalization of traditional carpet weaving and textile
workshops in Bukhara and Margilan. In 2010 , a new project aimed at
developing traditional handicrafts in Uzbekistan, particularly in Karakalpakstan and the Fergana Valley, was launched by
the UNESCO office in Tashkent with financial support from the Korean Funds-in -Trust.
Within this project an educational workshop on traditional clothing and textile products for young designers in Margilan was
held in the madrasa of Said Ahmad Khoja on May 14, 2010.
PRESERVING THE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF KARAKALPAK - UZBEKISTAN
“Preservation of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Karakalpakstan” is one of the most important

was implemented in 2010, is to strengthen the national capacity in the field of the inventorying the
intangible cultural heritage and on-site learning and creating an inventory of the musical heritage of
Karakalpakstan.
The project is also aimed at establishing cooperation between local partners (institutions and local
communities) and a team of researchers.

Intangible Heritage
Edited by Laurajane Smith, Natsuko Akagawa
ISBN: 978-0-415-47396-5
Published 1st December 2008 by Routledge – 336 pages
This volume examines the implications and consequences of the idea of ‘intangible heritage’ to current
international academic and policy debates about the meaning and nature of cultural heritage and the
management processes developed to protect it. It provides an accessible account of the different ways in
which intangible cultural heritage has been defined and managed in both national and international
contexts, and aims to facilitate international debate about the meaning, nature and value of not only intangible cultural
heritage, but heritage more generally.

Atlas des langues en danger dans le monde
On estime que, si rien n'est fait, la moitié des quelques 6 000 langues parlées aujourd'hui disparaîtront d'ici la fin du siècle.
Avec la disparition de langues non écrites et non documentées, l'humanité perdrait non seulement une richesse culturelle,
mais aussi d’importantes connaissances ancestrales, contenues en particulier dans les langues indigènes.
Toutefois, ce processus n'est ni inévitable ni irréversible: des politiques linguistiques correctement planifiées et mises en
œuvre permettent de renforcer les efforts effectués actuellement par les communautés de locuteurs pour maintenir ou
revitaliser leurs langues maternelles et les transmettre aux générations les plus jeunes.

Commission européenne: une politique de la pêche pour l'avenir
Dans ses propositions visant à réformer en profondeur la politique commune de la pêche de l'UE (PCP), la Commission
européenne a défini une approche radicale de la gestion de la pêche en Europe. Ces plans permettront de garantir à
l'avenir la conservation des stocks halieutiques ainsi que les sources de revenus des pêcheurs tout en mettant un terme à
la surexploitation des stocks et à l'épuisement de ceux-ci. La réforme introduira une approche décentralisée de la gestion
de la pêche fondée sur la science, par région et par bassin maritime. Elle améliorera également les normes de gouvernance
dans l'UE et au niveau international grâce à des accords de pêche durable.

Les océans sont en crise - Université d'Oxford (Royaume-Uni)
« Les océans sont en crise. » Trois experts internationaux ont présenté devant la presse, ce matin, un
rapport qui dresse un tableau très alarmant de la vie marine, menacée notamment par le réchauffement
mondial des eaux, l’acidification, de faibles niveaux d’oxygène et la surpêche. « Il faut agir maintenant »,
ont-ils déclaré.
Pour le Directeur scientifique du Programme international sur l’état des océans (IPSO), M. Alex Rogers, les
résultats de cette étude « sont choquants ». « En considérant l’effet cumulatif de ce que l’humanité fait
subir aux océans, nous nous sommes aperçus que les conséquences sont bien plus graves que ce dont
chacun de nous s’était rendu compte de son côté. »
M. Rogers était accompagné, lors de cette conférence de presse conjointe au Siège de l’ONU, à New York, parrainée par le
Programme des Nations Unies pour l’environnement (PNUE), de Mme Sue Lieberman, de l’Alliance de la haute mer et du
Groupe Pew pour l’environnement, et de M. Matt Gianni, de la Coalition pour la conservation des grands fonds.

l’intérieur des terres et a submergé au moins 500 km². A terre, la catastrophe à double
détente a laissé environ 25 millions de tonnes déchets et quand le tsunami a reflué vers
l’Océan Pacifique, il a entraîné des quantités considérables de déchets divers. Cette injection
dans le milieu marin se perpétue par le biais des fleuves côtiers. Tous ces déchets entrent
depuis le 11 mars dans un infernal cercle océanique, la boucle du Pacifique Nord. Le tour
complet se fait en dix ans.

Rapport du Senat français sur la pollution de la Méditerranée : état et perspectives à l'horizon
2030
Rapport de M. Roland COURTEAU, fait au nom de l'Office parlementaire d'évaluation des choix scientifiques
et technologiques n° 652 (2010-2011) - 21 juin 2011
La Méditerranée est victime de l'héritage des pollutions passées, atteinte par les pollutions présentes et
sera soumise à l'horizon d'une génération à une pression de pollution d'origine anthropique de plus en plus
forte, dont les conséquences seront démultipliées par les effets attendus du changement climatique.
Sur la base de ce constat qui n'incite pas à l'optimisme, Roland Courteau, sénateur de l'Aude, avance dix
grandes catégories de propositions pour lutter contre la pollution du bassin méditerranéen et réduire l'écart de plus en plus
marqué qui se dessine entre les rives Nord et Sud de cet espace commun.
Il est temps d'agir.

Hazardous substances in Europe's fresh and marine waters: An overview
Technical report No 8/2011
Chemicals are an essential part of our daily lives and are used to produce consumer goods, to protect or
restore our health and to boost food production, to name but a few examples. Some chemicals, however,
are hazardous, raising concerns for the environment and human health. Hazardous substances are emitted
to fresh and marine waters via a number of pathways and can have detrimental effects on aquatic biota.
Humans can be exposed to hazardous substances in water through the ingestion of contaminated drinking
water and the consumption of contaminated freshwater fish and seafood. A wide range of legislation now
exists in Europe to address the release of hazardous substances to the environment, including water. New challenges exist,
however, including the issues of chemical mixtures and emerging pollutants.

Ouverture du Musée Lalique. Wingen-sur-Moder (France)
Le musée Lalique ouvrira ses portes en juillet 2011 à Wingen-sur-Moder en Alsace. Aménagé par
l'architecte de renommée internationale Jean-Michel Wilmotte, sur un ancien site verrier en activité aux
XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, le musée mettra en valeur les multiples facettes de l'oeuvre de René Lalique, des
bijoux aux éléments architecturaux en passant par les flacons de parfum et les Arts décoratifs. Vases,
surtouts de table, bouchons de radiateurs, statuettes… rappelleront que ses sources d'inspiration
majeures étaient la femme, la faune et la flore. Le cristal Lalique, autrement dit la création Lalique
depuis 1945, se verra lui aussi consacrer une place de choix et un hommage sera rendu aux verriers
perpétuant les savoir-faire et mettant leurs tours de main et leurs connaissances au service de la création.

MUSEO AERO SOLAR Huge Art Project Sends the Roskilde Festival into the Air 6
Copenhagen (Denmark)
The National Gallery of Denmark presents Museo aero solar at this year's Roskilde Festival. A
flying museum in the form of a gigantic solar-heated balloon made entirely of recycled
plastic bags. The project is a so called do-it-together project which explores new ways of
thinking about energy and space. In three simple maneuvers - cut, paste and decorate,
collected plastic bags will be transformed into a giant balloon. Warmed by the heat of the
rising sun the balloon will lift and fly.

Florence Wants Mona Lisa Back for a Visit
Florence officials are launching a campaign to bring the "Mona Lisa" back for a visit.
Leonardo da Vinci brought the painting of a Renaissance woman with an enigmatic smile to France in 1516, and it has
mostly hung in the Louvre Museum since — with several famous exceptions.
One was its theft by an Italian immigrant in 1911. The "Mona Lisa" was recovered when he tried to sell it in Florence two
years later. Before returning to France, the "Mona Lisa" was shown in several Italian cities.
To mark the anniversary, officials on Thursday announced a campaign to collect 100,000 signatures asking the Louvre to
allow the painting to be displayed in Florence in 2013.
The painting traveled to the United States in 1962 and Japan and Moscow in the 1970s.
Amon Carter Museum of American Art Announces New Online Collection Database - Fort Worth - Texas - USA
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art announces it has recently launched a digital collection database, which includes
more than 7,500 artworks from the museum’s permanent collection. Easily searchable by artist, artwork or medium, the
database can be accessed from the museum’s website at www.cartermuseum.org/custom.
The process to create the digital database began in 2009, when the museum received a $50,000 grant from the National
Endowment for the Arts to photograph and catalog the works on paper collection. Because the painting and sculpture
collection was previously cataloged and digitized, the museum focused its efforts on its 7,000 watercolors, prints and
drawings. The museum completed digitization of this area of its collection in December 2010
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Opens New Gallery Dedicated to Jewelry, Gems and Treasures - Boston Massachusetts - USA - 19 July 2011 - 25 November 2012
As the saying goes, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”—at least in modern times—but as the exhibition Jewels, Gem, and
Treasures: Ancient to Modern illustrates,ornaments made of ivory, shell, and rock crystal were prized in antiquity, while
jewelry made of diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and pearls became fashionable in later years. On view July 19,
2011, through November 1, 2012, this exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), highlights some 75 objects
representing the rich variety of jewels, gems, and treasures that have been valued over the course of four millennia.
Drawn from the MFA’s collection and select loans, these range from a 24th-century BC Nubian conch shell amulet, to Mary
Todd Lincoln’s 19th-century diamond and gold suite, to a 20th-century platinum, diamond, ruby, and sapphire Flag brooch
honoring the sacrifices of the Doughboys in World War I. Jewels, Gems, and Treasures is the inaugural exhibition in the
MFA’s new Rita J. and Stanley H. Kaplan Family Foundation Gallery, which debuts on July 19.

Bristol's New £27 Million City History Museum "M Shed" Opened to the Public - Bristol - United Kingdom
In one of the most innovative and ambitious museum developments of the last decade, M Shed, Bristol’s new city history
museum, opened to the public on Friday 17 June 2011.
The museum is housed the landmark 1950s transit sheds at Prince’s Wharf on the historic waterfront in the heart of the
city. Located less than half a mile away from the award-winning SS Great Britain and opposite the Arnolfini Gallery and
Watershed Media Centre, it is at the hub of a vibrant cultural quarter of Bristol. The whole site - the sheds and their
quayside - is one of the last remaining complete 20th century docksides in the UK.
The museum includes 3,000 exhibits, drawn from the world class collection of the city, telling the many thousands of
stories of the people of Bristol, which have been discovered through working with experts and communities across the city,
a process that will continue for the life of the museum.
Yale Center for British Art Premieres Companion Exhibition to Online Catalogue - New Haven - Connecticut USA

sketch Peace Embracing Plenty will be hitherto unexhibited works, including outstanding prints and drawings by Thomas
Gainsborough. Taken together the exhibition reveals the depth and breadth of material available in the Center’s physical
collections, which will now be available together in a single, searchable, online catalogue

sites in time for the 10 year anniversary of the 2001 attacks.
African American Civil War Museum Reopening - Washington DC - USA
2011 ushered in the beginning of a four-year celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War and the 50th
Anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement. For more than ten years, the African American Civil War Monument and Museum
has stood as a testament to the struggle of African Americans and others to rid this nation of the scourge of slavery and
racial bias. There is no doubt the fact that America is a much better place for all having shed itself of its slavery and Jim
Crow past and come closer to living out the meaning of the words ‘One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and
Justice for All’.
Today, the museum had its Grand Opening of the new and permanent site of African American Civil War Museum. The New
location is 1925 Vermont Avenue NW, directly across from the African American Civil War Monument. The new location of
the museum has over $5 million of modern, highly educational exhibitions, which highlights the story of the African
American Soldiers during the American Civil War
Asif Khan to Design Future Memory Pavilion - Singapore - Republic of Singapore
The British Council, in partnership with the Royal Academy of Arts, London and the Preservation of Monuments Board,
Singapore, today announced a programme of events entitled Future Memory in Singapore. The programme will culminate
with a temporary pavilion designed by award-winning UK architect Asif Khan as part of Singapore’s annual architecture
festival ArchiFest in October 2011.
The Future Memory Platform
The theme of Future Memory, which forms the basis for a platform of activities in Singapore, derives from a series of
discussion-based events (RA Forums) created by the Royal Academy of Arts in early 2011 in London.
Some September 11 Families Angered by Museum Entry Fee - New York City - New York - USA
Some family members of victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks expressed outrage on Wednesday at a potential
admission fee to a National Memorial Museum currently under construction at the former site of the World Trade Center
towers.
Last week, president and chief executive of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum Joe Daniels told New York
City council members about the possible $20 or $25 fee. He said the museum must generate enough income to operate,
which memorial officials say could require between $50 and $60 million a year. The memorial portion will be free to enter.
"This is not the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's supposed to be a memorial," said former New York City Fire Department
Deputy Chief Jim Riches, whose son, also a firefighter, was killed in the attacks. "I think it's very crude."
"This was not supposed to be a money making thing. Most people will be coming to pay their respects to the people
murdered that day," he added.
Norman Rockwell's "The Problem We All Live With" to Be Exhibited at The White House - Washington D.C. USA - until 31 October 2011
Norman Rockwell Museum announces the loan of Norman Rockwell’s iconic painting “The Problem We All Live With,” part of
its permanent collection, to The White House, where it will be exhibited through October 31. The loan was requested this
year by President Barack Obama, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Ruby Bridges’ history-changing walk
integrating the William Frantz Public School in New Orleans on November 14, 1960, that later inspired Rockwell’s bold
illustration for the January 14, 1964 issue of “Look” magazine. “The Problem We All Live With” was the first painting
purchased by Norman Rockwell Museum in 1975. The White House loan was made possible through the support of the
Henry Luce Foundation.

COMPETITIONS - Competition Entry for Extension of Serlachius Museum Gösta /
PRAUD - Mäntta - Finland
Praud recently shared with us their entry for the Extension of Serlachius Museum Gösta
competition. The site has a strong advantage of having very fabulous landscape view
towards lake as well as forest. Hence, the big idea in massing is to create view points
towards those scenarios and it becomes an architectural logic of the form of the building.
The first step they took was creating courtyard, just as typical museum typologies, as a void
so that the museum has its vertical relationship to sky and outdoor exhibition space as well.
Because of the massive surface they needed to deal with, they folded the mass into half so that it can be more efficient and
compact building per se.

MUSEUM ON WHEELS - KARAKALPAKSTAN - UZBEKISTAN
Karakalpakstan is one of the most remote regions of Uzbekistan yet it contains
one of Uzbekistan’s and Central Asia’s most unusual and interesting museums the State Museum of Art named after I.V. Savitsky in Nukus.
This museum is a world-famous treasure house of arts from the Karakalpak
people and Russian avant-garde painting.
Until recently, however, Karakalpak children living in the remote regions of
Karakalpakstan had no way of visiting this museum. As a result, the project
“Museum on Wheels” was established.
“Museum on Wheels” was implemented by the UNESCO office in Tashkent in close cooperation with the Savitsky State
Museum of Art.
Within the project, a number of lectures on various topics were conducted in schools in three regions of Karakalpakstan.
Among the lecture topics were the history of the museum and its collections, the Russian avant-garde arts and applied art
of Karakalpakstan, and masterpieces of the world.
EXHIBITION - MASTERPIECES OF WORLD ART - TASHKENT - UZBEKISTAN
Presentation of the “Masterpieces of World Art in Tashkent” was held in May 18, 2010 in front of the
Tashkent Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet named after Alisher Navoi.
This important event in he cultural life of Uzbekistan was devoted to World Museum Day.
Masterpieces of fine art from the most prestigious museums in the world decorated parks, alleys and streets
throughout the center of Tashkent. The masterpieces came from the Louvre and the Hermitage, the Uffizi
Gallery and the Metropolitan Museum, the Russian Museum and Tretyakov Gallery, and the museums of
Berlin, Washington, London, Madrid. Also included were many other treasures of world art and works from
Uzbekistan’s own museums.

Iron Age Gold Hoard, The Wickham Market Hoard, Saved for Ipswich Museum - Ipswich - United Kingdom
One of the largest collections of Iron Age coins to be found in recent years has been saved for the nation, and will be
displayed at Ipswich Museum thanks to the support of the Art Fund.
The Wickham Market hoard is one of the most important discoveries to be found in Suffolk in the past century and joins a
roll call of nationally important treasure finds from the county that includes the Mildenhall treasure and Hoxne hoard.
The hoard consists of 840 gold coins dating from between 20 BC-AD 20. The hoard is rare for the time period and unique
for this type of discovery as it contains only gold coinage. It is tangible evidence of the long history of the peoples of the
British Isles and offers a direct connection to the Iceni tribe which remains strongly linked to the story of Boudica, one of
Britain’s most famous folk heroines.

The Prado has completed its presentation of the fascinating dialogue between Velázquez and the
great Old Masters that articulates its new hanging - Madrid - Spain
The Museo del Prado today presented one of the most important features within its plan to reorganize the
collection, a project known as 'The Collection. The second extension'. This is the reopening of the Central
Gallery on the main floor following its redesign and with significant changes to the arrangement of the works
on display. With the completion of this phase of the 2009-2012 Collection Plan, initiated following the almost
complete restoration and reordering of the ground floor, the Collection is now presented in a new manner on
the Museum's two main floors, with Velázquez located at the heart of the two great traditions of European
painting: the Italian and Flemish schools. To date, work on this project has meant that 25 more galleries have become
available for display purposes, with 11 more to be added on the second floor by the completion of the project. Through the
addition of these new spaces, an additional 300 works from the Museum's Permanent Collection can now be seen. The
'new' Central Gallery, the most emblematic space within the Prado, has now reopened to the public with the display of what
is perhaps the most remarkable of all collections of European painting, ranging from Titian to Velázquez, Rubens and Goya.

Le Quai Branly et le Centre Pompidou en tête du 8e Palmarès Artclair des musées Paris - France
Le Quai Branly et le Centre Pompidou occupent tous deux la première place du Palmarès Artclair
des musées 2011, suivis à un point près par Le Louvre. Les musées du Nord confirment leur
dynamisme. Malgré une programmation identique en nombre, la fréquentation générale est
stable (43,5 millions de visiteurs) entre 2009 et 2010.
335 musées classés, 71 critères, un nombre maximum de 471 points … et deux premiers ex
æquo ! le Quai Branly et le Centre Pompidou avec un total de 437 points. Aussi étonnant que
cela puisse paraître, la méthodologie (identique aux années précédentes) du 8e Palmarès Artclair des musées n’a pas pu

Artistry of African Headwear - Dallas Museum of Art - Dallas - Texas - USA - 14 August 2011 - 1 January 2012
Celebrating African decorative design, African Headwear: Beyond Fashion presents approximately fifty objects from the
Dallas Museum of Art’s internationally acclaimed collection of African art and from several private collections, including
those of Michael and Shelly Dee; Susan Montgomery; Taiye Ozigbo; Sidney Perutz; and John and Karen Reoch. Through
form, materials, and imagery, African headwear communicates information about the wearer, including an individual’s
ethnic group, gender, age, marital status, social and economic status, military rank, role in government, religious
affiliation, and profession. This exhibition presents headwear from sub-Saharan Africa, where what one wears on one’s

BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) Uploads 63,000 Paintings Online as It
Launches Your Paintings; Aims for 200,000 Works - United Kingdom
The BBC in partnership with the Public Catalogue Foundation (PCF) announced the launch of
Your Paintings, a project to create a complete catalogue of every oil painting in the national
collection, on a dedicated website.
In all, the national collection amounts to some 200,000 works, held in 3,000 galleries,
museums, libraries and public institutions all over the country, making it probably one of the
largest and most diverse collections of paintings in the world.
The first phase of Your Paintings went live yesterday, with over 60,000 paintings by 15,000 artists from 860 collections.
The site will feature online selections made by well known artists, historians and celebrities including Yinka Shonibare, Rory
Bremner, Frank Skinner, Dan Snow, Tracey Cox, Matt Baker, Gus Casely Hayford, Mary Beard, Alastair Sooke, Monty Don
and The Reduced Shakesspeare Company encouraging the public to take part in the development of this monumental
project, tagging works, and helping to classify paintings as they are uploaded to the site over the next eighteen months
towards completion by the end of 2012.

South Pacific Museums: Experiments in Culture
Edited by Chris Healy and Andrea Witcomb
2006, Published by Monash University ePress, Clayton, Victoria
ISBN: 0-9757475-8-4 (pb) - ISBN: 0-9757475-9-2 (web)
Over the last 50 years, museums have been regarded by many scholars and cultural critics as archaic
institutions far from the cutting edge of cultural innovation. This judgement is being proved wrong across
the globe, with innovative museums staking out new territory. Nowhere is this more striking than in the
South Pacific, where new and redeveloped institutions ahve included the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa
Tongarewa, the National Museums of Australia, the Melbourne Museum, the Gab Titui Cultural Centre in the Torres Strait,
the Auckland Museum, the Centre Culturel Tjibaou and the Vanuatu Cultural Centre.
South Pacific Museums makes sense of these museums as part of the complex field of heritage, where national economies
meet global tourismm cities brand themselves, and indigeneity articulates without colonialism. The effect is one of cultural
experimentation.

UNESCO INTRODUCES INNOVATIONS TO IMPROVE THE
ENVIRONMENT IN THE ARAL SEA - UZBEKISTAN
During his visit to Uzbekistan in May 2010, UN Secretary General
Ban Ki-Moon, called on all countries in the region to join efforts to
save the Aral Sea. The secretary general also said
that the United Nations stands ready to support initiatives aimed
at improving the environmental situation in the Aral Sea region.
In light of this significant visit, and as a step towards improving
the ecological situation in the Aral Sea, UNESCO has proposed initiatives for the cultivation of salt-tolerant and highyielding cash crops which are beneficial both economically and from an environmental point of view. In connection with
this, the development of environmentally clean technologies and the introduction of innovative new crops on degraded
lands of the Aral Sea basin and the Republic of Karakalpakstan have been carried out.
Dépenses pour l'environnement en 2009 : bilan mitigé - France
La progression des dépenses engendrées par les activités de protection de
l'environnement a ralenti en 2009. Les investissements chutent de 6 %.
La qualité de l'air, la protection de la biodiversité et la lutte contre le bruit
sont en hausse.
Quarante cinq milliards d'euros, c'est le montant de la dépense engendrée
par les activités de protection de l'environnement en 2009 par les
entreprises (17,4 Mds €), les administrations publiques (15,2 Mds €) et
les ménages (12,1 Mds €), selon le rapport de la Commission des comptes et de l'économie de l'environnement publié le 24
juin par le ministère de l'écologie. Si ce chiffre est en progression par rapport à 2008 (+1,2 %), il l'est nettement moins
que les années précédentes (+ 4,2 % en 2008). Les investissements dans les domaines de la protection de
l'environnement sont particulièrement en baisse (- 6 %), ''après avoir marqué le pas en 2008''.

Festa Trail 2011 - France
Dans le cadre de notre politique de RSE, nous avons accompagné bénévolement l’association le Passe Muraille dans son
organisation du Festa Trail. Evénement sportif dédié au développement durable du territoire, le Festa Trail proposait
différentes courses pédestres de pleine Nature, depuis l’ultra draille et ses 120km jusqu’à une course pour enfant.
Réalisée dans le département de l’Hérault, autour du Pic Saint Loup, cette manifestation se distingue par ses vocations
sportives bien sûr mais aussi culturelles, patrimoniales et écologiques. L’équipe d’organisation a été formée à la Méthode
ASSER © et a réalisé l’une des premières études d’impact à cette échelle sur les nombreuses zones Natura 2000 traversées
par les coureurs. Il reste encore de nombreux chantiers à mener sur l’éco-responsabilité de cette manifestation mais cette
première édition a été encourageante (ravitaillements biologiques sans emballages, abandon des gobelets individuels…).

L’UNESCO lance un Projet global pour renforcer la prévision et les capacités de
gestion des inondations au Pakistan
En 2010, le Pakistan fut touché par les plus graves inondations que l’on ait vues de mémoire
d’homme. Elles commencèrent fin juillet 2010, suite aux fortes pluies de mousson survenues
dans les provinces de Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, du Sind, du Pendjab et du Baloutchistan. Ces
précipitations inhabituelles furent décrites comme les pires de ces 80 dernières années. Selon le
Département de météorologie du Pakistan, 200 mm d’eau tombèrent en 24 heures à plusieurs
endroits du Khyber Pakhtunkhwa et du Pendjab. Peshawar connut durant le même laps de
temps des précipitations exceptionnelles de 274 mm qui dépassèrent le précédent record de 187 mm en avril 2009. Le
nombre total de personnes affectées est estimé à 20,2 millions. 1 961 personnes périrent et 1,9 million d’habitations furent
endommagées ou détruites (Source UNOCHA, 13 octobre 2010).

Algues vertes : FNE (France Nature Environnement) dénonce un projet de réforme qui va accroître leur
prolifération - France
Alors que la prolifération des algues vertes bat son plein et que l’Europe menace la France d’un contentieux, des projets de
décrets et d’arrêtés ministériels, en consultation publique jusqu’à demain, risquent encore d’aggraver le phénomène.
Réaction de FNE et de ses associations membres.
Des projets de texte favorables à la concentration des élevagesPourtant rédigés en réponse aux griefs de l’Union
européenne, les projets de textes sur la protection des eaux contre la pollution par les nitrates d’origine agricole, soumis à
consultation publique jusqu’au vendredi 24 juin, modifient le calcul de la quantité d’azote qui peut être épandue sur les
terres agricoles. Actuellement de 170 kg par hectare épandable, elle serait désormais calculée par rapport à l’ensemble de
la superficie agricole de l’exploitation (SAU). Or, toutes les surfaces agricoles ne peuvent pas recevoir d’épandage en raison
de leur pente ou de leur proximité avec des habitations ou des cours d’eau. Selon nos sources, le tour de passe-passe
reviendrait à augmenter d’environ un quart la quantité d’azote autorisé sur l’exploitation agricole, et donc à accroître
encore le cheptel dans des zones déjà saturées de pollution.

Proposition de directive du Parlement européen et du Conseil modifiant la directive 1999/32/CE en ce qui
concerne la teneur en soufre des combustibles marins - Bruxelles - Belgique
La promotion d'une économie plus efficace dans l'utilisation des ressources, plus verte et plus compétitive est au cœur de la
stratégie Europe 2020. Dans ce cadre, il importe de réduire encore la pollution atmosphérique afin d'améliorer la santé
humaine et l'environnement et de concourir à l'objectif d'une Europe plus durable. Les mesures prises par l'UE ces
dernières décennies ont permis de réduire considérablement les émissions de la plupart des polluants atmosphériques,
notamment le dioxyde de soufre (SO2), les oxydes d'azote (NOx), les composés organiques volatils, l'ammoniac et les
particules (PM). Ce sont les sources terrestres d'émission telles que les installations industrielles ou le transport routier qui
ont le plus contribué à cette réduction des émissions. Les données disponibles indiquent qu'une nouvelle réduction de ces
polluants aura des effets bénéfiques importants pour la santé des citoyens de l'UE, pour l'environnement et pour l'économie
en général.

Proposition de loi visant à interdire l'exploration et l'exploitation des hydrocarbures non conventionnels France
Nous devons faire face aujourd’hui à un prix du baril de brut à la hausse. L’or noir, ressource naturelle non renouvelable qui
a permis aux pays occidentaux de s’industrialiser et de s’enrichir au siècle dernier, est une denrée rare dont le prix ne
cessera, à l’évidence, d’augmenter dans les années à venir.
Pour parer à la rareté de cette ressource omniprésente dans nos vies, et à la hausse inéluctable de son prix, la France a
décidé, non pas d’investir massivement dans les énergies renouvelables, afin de réussir rapidement la transition écologique
plébiscitée par tant de ses citoyens, mais de s’orienter vers l’exploitation d’hydrocarbures non conventionnels, et
notamment les forages en eaux profondes et l’exploitation des gaz et huile de schiste. Concernant ces derniers et comme
leur nom l’indique, il s’agit de gaz ou d’huile emprisonnés dans du schiste, roche sédimentaire déposée à l’origine sous
forme d’argile et de limon. Autrefois jugées trop coûteuses et malaisées, l’exploration et l’exploitation des mines de ces
hydrocarbures non conventionnels sont aujourd’hui examinées avec attention par le Gouvernement français.

Solar ovens, renewable energy offer hope for Afghanistan - Afghanistan
At first, she noticed Afghan children hauling brush. Then, in Afghan family compounds, she noticed women tending small
fires and trying to cook over them.
But it wasn't until U.S. diplomat Patricia McArdle realized how often it was sunny in Afghanistan that she put it together
with a youthful memory of cooking with solar ovens and realized this was a low-tech option offering long-term hope to the
war-torn nation, which is preparing for a draw-down of U.S. troops.

Clean cook stoves promote sustainability of local resources
By Emma Diab, Media Global, The voice of the Global South Clean cook stoves are helping to
decrease the use of fuel wood and promote the sustainability of local resources. These stoves
use 50 to 70 percent less fuel, usually in the form of wood or charcoal, the primary sources of
energy for many impoverished people in the world.
With almost half of all deforestation caused by subsistence agriculture, the portion dedicated to
wood fuel collection—5 percent—seems negligible in comparison. But, using wood for cooking or
heating in an area with a lack of trees exacerbates local resources, and hampers the
sustainability of these local environments.

Manuel Sandwatch: s'adapter au changement climatique et éduquer pour le développement
durable
Par Guillian Cambers et Paul Diamond
ISBN: 978-92-3-204-179-1
Pour les populations habitant les petites îles et les côtes du monde entier, depuis les tropiques jusqu’à
l’Arctique, le changement climatique est vécu comme une réalité, soit qu’il s’exprime par la fréquence
croissante des événements climatiques extrêmes, l’acidification de l’océan, la fonte des glaces de
l’Arctique, soit par la perspective d’une montée du niveau de la mer. Le Secrétaire général des Nations
Unies, Ban Ki-Moon, a déclaré que le changement climatique était « le problème majeur et la marque de notre époque ».
Ceci n’est jamais aussi vrai que dans les petites îles et les zones côtières, régions qui attirent une part de la population
mondiale toujours croissante.

Restoring St Nicholas - Ballarat - Victoria - Australia
St Nicholas church in Humffray St, Ballarat East, was built in 1867. Originally named the
Bible Christian Church, it was built by Cornish miners in the evenings and weekends after
they had returned from their work at the diggings.
Like most buildings of its time it was built to last, constructed of solid brick with lime mortar.
By the 1970s, the mortar was crumbling and the church community of the time re-mortared
it with cement, a process we now know was incorrect for buildings of its age. The cement
mortar, combined with rising damp, caused salt attack in many of the original bricks and the
building literally began to crumble.
In 2009 the Greek Orthodox community of St Nicholas approached the City of Ballarat, Heritage Victoria and the trade
school at the University of Ballarat to form a unique partnership to restore the church. This project allowed young
apprentices to learn traditional trade skills and practice the technique of mixing and using lime mortar. In the process, the
humble church has had its life extended, and the Greek community have a religious and cultural centre they can use for
generations to come.

Ancient Reindeer Engraving Among Britain's Oldest Rock Art - Creswell Craghs - United
Kingdom
A faint engraving of a reindeer in a South Wales cave looks to be among the oldest rock art known in
Britain.
Researchers completed an analysis on July 27 that dated the image at roughly 12,600 years or older,
putting it about on par with Britain's oldest known rock art.
The archeologist who discovered the engraving, George Nash, from the University of Bristol, said he
believed it could be even older.
Nash discovered the engraving while visiting the cave with a group in September 2010. But dating — using a technique
that looks at the decay of traces of radioactive uranium and thorium in the stalagmite crust deposited over the engraving
— was only just completed.

World Monuments Fund Announces Sustainable Tourism Effort at the Alhambra - Grenada - Spain
Patronato de la Alhambra, American Express, and World Monuments Fund (WMF) announced, at the Palace of Charles V at
the Alhambra, an institutional partnership for the conservation of the site through a new program called “The Hidden
Alhambra.”
“The Hidden Alhambra" is a sustainable tourism project supported by American Express and World Monuments Fund in the
form of a donation of $200,000 through the American Express® Partners in Preservation program, in collaboration with

trafficked areas while also giving visitors the ability to see a number of places previously closed to the general public but of
significant historical value. In addition, programs will be developed for mobile electronic devices to aid in the exploration
and understanding of the complex, including virtual accessibility to fragile sections of the site closed to the public.

Scientists Show Some Never-Before-Seen Dramatic 3-D Images of the Titanic - Norfolk - Virginia - USA
Scientists showed some never-before-seen images of the Titanic in a Virginia courtroom Thursday, unveiling dramatic threedimensional views of the rusting hulk and the ghostly images of the sea floor where the ship sank almost a century ago.
The Titanic struck ice while making its maiden voyage on April 12, 1912, about 400 miles off Newfoundland, Canada. More
than 1,500 of the 2,228 passengers and crew perished as the liner plunged into the deep. The images taken from a remotecontrolled submersible vehicle were shown to a judge Thursday amid an ongoing salvage claim involving the world's most
famous shipwreck.. The findings were presented in a federal courtroom in Norfolk where a salvage claim is still being
decided 26 years after the Titanic was discovered by oceanographer Robert Ballard

sumergidos, pues el acceso a la tecnología de exploración subacuática no sólo está en manos de la
comunidad arqueológica que, consciente del valor cultural e histórico de dicho patrimonio, desarrolla
técnicas de estudio científico, análisis, registro, interpretación y conservación. También tienen acceso a
ella los cazadores de tesoros, personas que buscan sitios donde supuestamente hay bienes explotables
desde el punto de vista comercial y en pos del lucro los saquean y destruyen.

Twelve houses restored in Japan and Italy
By Olimpia Niglio and Taisuke Kuroda
ISBN: 978-88-548-4148-2
The restoration of architecture in a nation is a project strictly connected to its culture, its society, as well as
to the weather conditions and to its political and economic background. The contemporary culture, in
particular, has developed an awareness of the fact that the main purpose of the conservation of
monuments and landscape is not only protecting the matter of social well but also its intrinsic values,
strongly connected to the sense of belonging to the place. The necessity of searching these values comes
from the need of knowledge of the different cultural references that permit to man to direct his choices as concerns
conservation and safeguard compared to popular areas of interest apparently of less importance but vivid from the cultural
and social point of view.
And this is the birth of the relationship between values and needs connected to the demand of transformation of urban and
housing contexts. On these assumptions the book Twelve houses restored in Italy and Japan focuses on restoration
projects of historical urban contexts, where the theme of living produced changes, influenced different intervention
methods and functional choices without changing the sign of history. The book wants to introduce restoration projects
comparing different cultural realities and architectonical methods that characterized the present situation in Italy and
Japan. The experiences described in the book notice an interesting sharing among the different methods of restoration.

trafficked areas while also giving visitors the ability to see a number of places previously closed to the general public but of
significant historical value. In addition, programs will be developed for mobile electronic devices to aid in the exploration
and understanding of the complex, including virtual accessibility to fragile sections of the site closed to the public.

Rapport sur l'impact du tsunami dans les Iles Galapagos
Dix-huit heures après le tsunami catastrophique du 11 mars dernier au Japon, ses vagues ont
croisés les îles Galápagos. Heureusement, l'énergie des vagues avait quelque peu dissipée, et la
population locale, ayant reçu un avertissement avancé, s'était dirigé vers des terres plus
élevées. Les vagues ont frappé en fin d'après midi (heure de Galápagos), causant des
dommages importants à certains bâtiments situés près du bord de l'eau. Le laboratoire de
biologie marine et les équipements de la station de recherche scientifique Charles Darwin
(CDRS) ont été largement détruits. Le laboratoire joue un rôle important dans la réalisation des
travaux de surveillance maritime, qui alimentait le travail de gestion du Service de Parc National Galapagos.
Juillet 2011 marque le 100e anniversaire de la découverte du site de Machu Picchu (Pérou) par l’Américain
Hiram Bingham en 1911. Inscrite sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial en 1983, la cité inca devient victime
de son succès : la pression touristique menace la conservation du site et il est placé sous haute
surveillance par le Comité en juin 2011.

Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) Calls on U.S. and Libya to Protect World Heritage Sites
The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) urges caution in the wake of recent reports that military action is taking place
at the Libyan World Heritage sites of the Old Town of Ghadamès and Leptis Magna, exposing both to potential damage or
destruction.
The Old Town of Ghadamès, known as “the pearl of the desert,” was shelled over the weekend, according to media reports.
The London Times reported, “Gaddafi’s forces took over the ruins of Leptis Magna as a base for operations,” and said that
Libyan government troops moved rockets and munitions into this World Heritage Site. If true, this action may have placed

Archeologia pompeiana, sostegno giurassico
Arriva la fondazione francese che filtra finanziamenti privati esentasse, e tutti esultano: Pompei
è salva! E’ contento il direttore generale per la valorizzazione, è soddisfatta la soprintendente
archeologica di Napoli e Pompei, è felice il Consiglio Superiore dei Beni Culturali. Il
sottosegretario rassicura, l’Unesco garantisce. E una cordata di imprenditori paga. Il nostro
Paese, colto da questa notizia nel corso degli ultimi spasimi che lo stanno conducendo
allegramente a fondo, potrebbe ricordare a sé stesso i disastri forgiati dalle cordate di capitani
coraggiosi (per citare gli ultimi e più feroci, nell’impero delle comunicazioni e media e nel regno
del trasporto aereo). E l’establishment culturale dovrebbe smettere di aggrapparsi all’elemosina senza prima intaccare la
sostanza delle regole, e senza guardare avanti con la necessaria lucidità. Così, mentre nel mondo reale la cultura diventa
sempre di più il driver della crescita economica e sociale anche attraverso la nascita di nuovi mercati, nel Belpaese si
continua a inseguire la catena dei finanziatori.

TRADITIONAL CULTURE FESTIVAL "ASRLAR SADOSI" - Historical complex IchanQala - UZBEKISTAN
On May 8-9, 2010, the Khorezm region’s world- famous ancient city of Khiva hosted the third
Festival of Traditional Culture "Asrlar Sadosi" (Echo of the Centuries). The festival is organized
annually by The Fund Forum of Culture and Arts of Uzbekistan and the UNESCO office in
Tashkent.
Patrimoine mondial
The 2010 festival was launched in the historical complex Ichan-Qala, which is protected by
UNESCO as a World Heritage site. The festival was attended by more than 100 international
guests, including those from Austria, Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Korea, Norway, Russia, the
United States of America, Turkey, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Japan. Among the participants were prominent figures
of culture and the arts, academics, researchers, representatives of prestigious international media, as well as
representatives of the diplomatic corps and international organizations accredited in Uzbekistan.
International Workshop - "Samarkand- Crossroads of Cultures" (Samarkand, Uzbekistan,
2010)
The international workshop for creating a management plan for the UNESCO World Heritage Site
"Samarkand - Crossroads of Cultures" was held Oct. 25-28, 2010 in Samarkand.
The main goal was to develop an action plan for the further development of management and
conservation directives for Samarkand, a World Heritage city.
Experts in the field of architecture and urban planning in Uzbekistan and well as international experts,
representatives of UNESCO and other advisory bodies took part
in the workshop. The event focused on revising the condition of the city and its monuments as well as discussing issues of
international experience in urban planning and the development of management plans in other cities around the world and
their similarities to Samarkand.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PROTECTION OF HERITAGE - BUKHARA - UZBEKISTAN
The preservation and protection of cultural heritage is one of the major objectives of UNESCO around the
world. In 1972, UNESCO adopted a special convention on the protection
of historical sites for the preservation of ancient buildings, which are important objects of human culture.
The UNESCO office in Tashkent relies on the UNESCO Convention of 1972 in its program to protect cultural
and historical sites. Under the terms of this project the aim is to carry out an inventory and study of
residential and commercial buildings in the historic center of Bukhara.
A 1,500 Year Old Public Building Dating to the Byzantine Period was Revealed in Excavations - Jerusalem
For the first time in the history of the study of Akko, a public building from the Byzantine period has been exposed in the
city. In an archaeological excavation the Israel Antiquities Authority conducted c. 100 m west of Tel Akko – next to the
Azrieli Shopping Mall compound under construction there – a 1,500 year old public building was discovered that may have
been used as a church. The salvage excavation was carried out there as a result of work that had not been coordinated
with the IAA and which caused damage to ancient remains located in a declared antiquities site.
A Crusader Town Emerges Under an Old Israeli Port, Workers Prepare to Open It to the Public - Acre - Israel
Off the track beaten by most Holy Land tourists lies one of the richest archaeological sites in a country full of them: the
walled port of Acre, where the busy alleys of an Ottoman-era town cover a uniquely intact Crusader city now being
rediscovered.
Preparing to open a new subterranean section to the public, workers cleaned stones this week in an arched passageway
underground.
Etched in plaster on one wall was a coat of arms — graffiti left by a medieval traveler. Nearby was a main street of
cobblestones and a row of shops that once sold clay figurines and ampules for holy water, popular souvenirs for pilgrims.
All were last used by residents in 1291, the year a Muslim army from Egypt defeated Acre's Christian garrison and leveled
its remains.
The existing city, built by the Ottoman Turks around 1750, effectively preserved this earlier town, which had been hidden
for centuries under the rubble.

An Old Turkish Prison, built by the Ottoman Turks, Opens Briefly in Jerusalem
An old Turkish prison in Jerusalem is briefly opening to the public this weekend, allowing visitors a rare glimpse inside an
infamous local landmark.
The Kishle prison in Jerusalem's Old City was built by the Ottoman Turks in the mid-1800s. It later served the British as a
jail, housing Jewish and Arab prisoners in the stormy years leading up to Israel's creation in 1948.
Patrimoine mondial
One of those prisoners, Samuel Matza, who was a member of a Jewish underground group as a young man, recalled
sleeping on rags on the jail's floor after British police arrested him on weapons charges 64 years ago.
Matza, now 84, said Friday he hoped to visit the building again.

Thailand to Comply With Cambodian Temple Demilitarized Zone Imposed by United Nations
Thailand will start talks with Cambodia to withdraw troops from a disputed area surrounding an ancient temple to comply
with a demilitarized zone drawn up by a United Nations court, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said.
The UN-backed International Court of Justice yesterday ordered both countries to immediately withdraw military personnel
from an area surrounding Preah Vihear temple. Cambodia, granted sovereignty over the temple by the court in 1962, had
asked for measures to prevent more clashes while judges interpret the previous ruling.

Tanzania will mine uranium on Selous Game Reserve - The United Republic of Tanzania
The Selous Game Reserve in southern Tanzania is one of the largest fauna reserves in the world
Tanzania will go ahead with plans to mine uranium in the UN World Heritage site Selous Game Reserve, the natural
resources minister has told the BBC.
Ezekiel Maige said he told the recent UN World Heritage Centre meeting it would mean the park's size would need to be
reduced by less than 1%.
The UN body said it would approve the plans, as long as environmental assessments were carried out.
Money made from the mining would help in the park's upkeep, Mr Maige said.
According to the UN cultural organisation Unesco, the 5m hectare-Selous Game Reserve in the south of Tanzania has large
numbers of elephants, black rhinos, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos and crocodiles - and is relatively undisturbed by humans.

The renovations are limited to the monument, and Liberty Island will remain open and the statue itself will be mostly
unobstructed from view, officials said in a statement.
Mexican Archaeologists Discover a Second Ballgame Player at Court in Cerro del Teul, Zacatecas - Mexico
Researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH Mexico) discovered a second sculpture of a
ballgame player, which, unlike the one found in late 2010, has its head. The finding took place at Cerro del Teul
Archaeological Site, Zacatecas, and specialists say both pieces could evoke a passage of Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the
Maya people, related to divine twins.
The stone sculpture, discovered a few weeks ago, represents the body of a ballgame player (a 175 centimeters high
cylinder with 56 centimeters diameter figure) and is almost complete. It was located in the southwestern corner of the
Ballgame Court, during the field season headed by archaeologists Peter Jimenez and Laura Solar, who considered that it
must have fallen after a wall collapsed due to the passing of time

Les paysages culturels ont été formés au cours d'une longue période par l'interaction humaine avec
les systèmes naturels. Ces interactions sont, dans le cas des paysages culturels sites du patrimoine
mondial, d'une valeur universelle exceptionnelle. La gestion de leurs traces matérielles et tangibles et
de leurs associations immatérielles, en vue de les transmettre aux générations futures, représente un
défi singulier pour les gestionnaires de paysages culturels du patrimoine mondial. Aujourd'hui, soixante-six paysages
culturels ont été inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial. Ce livre présente des idées qui méritent examen et des
questions qu'il convient d'aborder. À l'appui de ces informations, il fait état de politiques et d'études de cas provenant de
différentes parties du monde. Le Fonds-en-dépôt néerlandais a soutenu sa publication.
« Les Fortifications » et La Convention du Patrimoine Mondial
Les résultats de ces réunions ont permis d’orienter les analyses et les propositions dans plusieurs sens :
La composition d’un corpus de documents historiques et cartographiques ; L‘élaboration de propositions
historico-géographiques pour une nomination en série ; la compilation de matériaux bibliographique et
archival pour préparer une nomination en série et la publication des résultats. Ceux-ci serviront comme
base méthodologique pour les groupes de travail permettant la mise en place d’une coopération efficace
au niveau des institutions du patrimoine de ces régions.
