The organisation has added 25 places to its 2020 World Monuments Watch – a watch-list for places of historical, social and cultural significance that need to be protected. The new additions include Machu Picchu, which could be under threat from a new airport in Cusco, and Notre Dame, which was greatly damaged in a fire earlier this year. Find out more about the at-risk places here.
