Preservation and conservation of cultural heritage is another major concern as major World Heritage sites such as Mohenjodaro stand in the path of the floodwaters descending through the Indus River Valley.
After the closure of the UNESCO International Safeguarding Campaign for Mohenjodaro in 1997, the UNESCO Division for Cultural Heritage and World Heritage Centre reinitiated their collaboration and developed a post campaign strategy in 2004, which identified further areas of interventions such as: management structure, conservation and stabilization, training and capacity building, site and tourism development.
