Ukrainian Experts Urge UNESCO to Protect Dam Site
Ukrainian archaeologists and conservationists urge UNESCO to protect the newly exposed floodplain area along the Dnipro River, after the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam. The dam's blast caused the reservoir to drain, revealing ancient archaeological sites and a restored natural habitat, prompting calls to prevent its reconstruction to preserve the site’s cultural and ecological significance. Over 100 Ukrainian NGOs support the bid to designate this area as a UNESCO world heritage site, highlighting concerns that rebuilding the dam would cause ecological and cultural ecocide.
