ICCROM , International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property, launches a new webinar on June 24 discussing how the pandemic has affected conservation work and education.

On the other hand heritage sites and cities suffering from over-tourism got a much needed relief that could not have been possible under pre-covid life.
