The preservation of cultural heritage sites is a topic that often brings to mind ancient temples, historic neighborhoods, and other terrestrial landmarks. However, as human exploration of space becomes more common, the need to protect artifacts on celestial bodies like the moon is becoming increasingly urgent.

The World Monuments Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving cultural heritage sites, recently added the moon to its list of at-risk locations. With the rise of lunar landing missions, space tourism, and space junk, experts are concerned about the potential impact on artifacts and bootprints left behind by astronauts.

NASA’s Artemis missions, which aim to put humans back on the moon, as well as plans for a permanent lunar base, are just a few examples of the growing interest in lunar exploration. However, the presence of space junk and the prospect of space tourism raise concerns about the potential damage to historic sites on the moon.

Tranquility Base, the site of the first moon landing during the Apollo 11 mission, is just one of the many locations at risk. With artifacts like Neil Armstrong’s bootprint and the descent stage of the landing module, these sites represent significant milestones in human history and scientific achievement.

Protecting these sites poses a unique challenge, as the moon does not belong to any single nation or government. International cooperation will be essential in developing guidelines and best practices for preserving lunar heritage.

The Artemis Accords, a set of non-legally binding statements signed by 52 countries, aim to establish guidelines for exploring the moon and other celestial bodies. While the accords include provisions for protecting shared outer space heritage, specific guidelines for safeguarding lunar sites are still under development.

In addition to the moon, the World Monuments Fund’s list of at-risk sites includes locations threatened by climate change and human conflicts. From historic lighthouses in Maine to the Teacher’s House in Kyiv, Ukraine, and the Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza City, these landmarks are all in need of preservation and protection.

As human exploration of space continues to expand, the importance of preserving lunar heritage sites will only grow. By working together to develop guidelines and best practices, we can ensure that these sites remain intact for future generations to appreciate and study.
