Historian Cecilia Bákula warns that the historical legacy of Perú is “absolutely fragile” and criticizes the limited attention and budget allocated to the Culture sector. She specifically points to the risks facing the Nazca Lines and other archaeological sites within Perú. Bákula argues for increased planning, investment, and coordination between the government, regional authorities, and the private sector to protect Perú’s heritage. She emphasizes that Perú’s cultural heritage shouldn’t be viewed as belonging to specific regions, but rather as a collective inheritance for all Peruvians. Bákula firmly believes that support for culture is not an expenditure, but a vital investment. The concern was voiced in a recent publication on Lima Gris, highlighting the urgent need for preservation efforts.
