Some inclusions on the 2012 WorldMonumentsWatch list have been damaged by natural disasters or neglect, such as heritage sites in eastern Japan, Gothic Revival buildings in New Zealand and the oldest cemetery in Athens, Greece.
In October 2011, the ruins were placed on the WorldMonuments Fund's Watch List, a catalogue of cultural heritage sites around the globe which are in danger.
