Shocking to hear from Luis Perez Reyes of Iquique Museum details of the difficulties & urgency of protecting the incredible geoglyphs of the Atacama desert. Mining operations, tourism & off-road 4x4s and motocross biking are all taking their toll.

Ivan Ghezzi just gave a great presentation at #ICAHM2025 about the Inca village at hilltop Fortaleza de Kuelap in Peru. The site is being impacted by increasing extreme rainfall events, causing wall collapses. #ClimateHeritage
Will Megarry kicking off the climate session at #ICAHM2025 with a discussion highlighting intangible heritage & non-economic #LossAndDamage. Archaeology is well placed to address loss & adaptation in a climate context. Also - heritage professionals need climate training.

Our San Pedro meeting started with a profoundly moving Atacameño ritual led by Quintín Condori, who offered food and drink to Mother Earth (Patahoiri), to water (tata-putarajni), & the mythical ancestors (Mallkus) who live on the volcanos & guardian hills. 📷:Trama.
