Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is the Cultural Heritage At Risk Database?
Q: Can you walk us through exactly how you measure what countries and objects are considered most vulnerable? Do you have a framework for categorizing the severity of risk?
The approach is practical and evidence-based rather than rigid; partners in the region inform which sites are targeted or at risk, and CHARD looks for catalogs and inventories that can be added to the database. Risk is seen as a broad, evolving concept, with emphasis on where information exists and how to make it usable within existing mechanisms.
