Landmarks Foundation

Landmarks Foundation, founded in 1997 by Samuel Adams Green and based in New York City, was a non-profit organization created to conserve sacred sites and landscapes around the world.

"[1] The following defines what the Landmarks Foundation was founded to ward and why: Whether locations are in current use today or relics left by vanished ancestors, these sacred places are tangible and sometimes intangible focal points for the beliefs, rituals and religions that define human societies.

[1]The Landmarks Foundation directs funding and technical expertise to local groups that cannot protect their sacred cultural heritage without assistance.

In describing their methods, a spokesperson for Landmarks Foundation remarked that "Piecemeal restoration is no substitute for a master plan ...".

The Landmarks Foundation's advisory board was a multi-national assembly of conservation experts from around the world.

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Lake Van in Turkey was one of Landmarks Foundation's preservation projects
