Adine Gavazzi, scientific collaborator of the UNESCO Chair at USI, was invited to present her project on the Río Abiseo National Park at the World Monuments Summit 2024 on October 26.
Dr. Gavazzi specializes in the anthropology of the Andes and Amazonia, with her research focusing on forest cultures, healing landscapes, and pre-colonial and indigenous ceremonial architecture.
The fourth annual World Monuments Summit brought together a global team of experts, partners, thought leaders, and guests of the World Monuments Fund (WMF) for a series of discussions on cultural heritage conservation. The event was held at the Rockefeller Center in New York City, the WMF’s headquarters.
During the conference, attendees were given a preview of the findings from the exploration of the remote Río Abiseo National Park in Peru. This UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for both its natural and cultural significance, poses unique challenges for the study and preservation of its rich archaeological remains within a protected environment.
