Recently a particularly interesting cause came to our attention. CyArk is an International heritage organisation digitally recording lost or at high risk heritage sites across the world. Spurred by the war torn regions distruction of the 1600-year-old Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan, CyArk was founded in 2003 to ensure heritage sites are available to future generations, while making them uniquely accessible today. Digital preservation of our world's precious heritage via a free, 3D online library of the world's cultural heritage sites can now be supported by donation through AmazonSmile, at no additional cost to you.

Arguably where we come from has a significant impact on who we are and what we might learn for the future. Presently critical stage destruction is evident in many historic cultural sites around the World due to the combined threats of natural disaster, human aggression and the ravages of time.
