Protecting Rock Art In The Sahara
 
Hi everybody,

Not sure if this has been posted before but here's a very interesting website about an organisation which aims to document and protect the rock are of the Sahara. There are some stunning photos on the site!

TARA Trust For African Rock Art | Rock Art News | Africa Rock Art Archive | African Rock Art Carvings & Paintings

They've also launched a campaign for fund raising:

As they say, an ounce of image is worth a pound of performance.

Said organization has been very busy for the past two decades preserving and publicising primarily itself, and collecting funds for 'documenting' rock art sites which have been found and published by others, sometimes decades ago (e.g. the famous Dabbous giraffes). More often than not this little nuance is ommitted in their glossy publications...

Ah good to know Andrasz I didn't know that thanks for the information.

I remember the Dabbous giraffes incident.
I would not give these people a penny.
