Whilst researching charities that protect heritage and culture, I came across the  UNESCO World Heritage Convention. This is a charity that sets out to protect natural and cultural sites of 'outstanding universal value' around the world by educating and working with locals to ensure they are maintained responsibly. After reading the list of inscribed sites I realised I have been to quite a few, including recently to the huge temple complex of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the ancient town of Luang Prabang in Laos. I think this is a better area of focus for a campaign as I already have knowledge of and plenty of first hand research about these places.
