All-round efforts needed to save vanishing Great Wall
By AT Editor on June 29, 2015

Although the Chinese government promulgated the Great Wall of Protection Ordinance in 2006, the world famous ancient stone fortification is still disappearing at a tremendous speed,especially the parts in forsaken mountain areas, China Daily reports.

According to research by the China Great Wall Society, it is not optimistic about the protection of the Great Wall. For example, only 8.2 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) is in good condition currently.

Moreover, in the report released by the Chinese State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2012, less than 10 percent of the Ming Great Wall is preserved adequately, 20 percent is moderately preserved, and almost 30 percent has disappeared.

The World Monument Fund based in New York announced in 2003 that the Great Wall was among the 100 most endangered historic sites.
