This involves improvements in infrastructure, revitalization of traditional crafts, and the documentation and protection of the Sakun language.

She elaborated on the project, stating, “The initiative aims to execute a two-year conservation and preservation initiative in the Sukur Cultural Landscape, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its Outstanding Universal Values.

“The project involves the conservation of both tangible and intangible heritage within the Sukur Cultural Landscape. It also seeks to enhance community capacity, fortify local, national, and international connections and networks for the preservation of the site’s Outstanding Universal Values, all while reinforcing the resilience of the Sukur community in the face of insurgency and climate change.
