Hi Arfin, Among the many casualties of Afghanistan's three decades of conflict are its archeological sites, which are currently under threat of destruction. Demand that Afghanistan's archeological sites be protected. » Mess Aynak, an ancient and vast Buddhist monastic ensemble, is currently in danger of destruction from a proposed copper mine. While it is important to encourage the growth of Afghanistan's economy, it is also vital to preserve its rich cultural history. Archeological sites serve as windows into the past that allow us to explore and understand ancient civilizations as well as celebrate the development of current ones. Mess Anyak's destruction would be a devastating blow to the preservation of Afghanistan's culture both past and present. Don't let this amazing testament to Afghanistan's history be destroyed. Ask UNESCO to include Mess Aynak, Afghanistan on the List of Endangered Sites and the World Heritage List. » Thanks for taking action!
