The World Heritage Committee will meet for its 33rd session in Seville, Spain from 22-30 June. During the session, the Committee will consider 30 properties for the inscription of new sites on UNESCO's World Heritage List and examine the state of conservation of sites already inscribed on the List. There are no rock art sites...
"Africa's rock art is the common
heritage of all Africans and all people. It is the
common heritage of humanity. As populations increase
and vandalism and theft of Africa's rock art are on
the rise, this irreplaceable resource is highly threatened.
It is time for Africa's leaders to take a new and
more active role. We must save this cultural heritage
before it is too late."....
Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan (2005)
TARA's strength is without a doubt its magnificent
database of rock art sites and image bank, which now
holds over 16,000 high quality images, all taken by TARA's
founding Chairman, David Coulson.
On these pages, TARA offers you a glimpse into 500
of its most stunning images...
