What is NMHPA’s Most Endangered Places List?
Since 1999 the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Alliance (NMHPA) has been soliciting nominations from around the state for the 2011 MOST ENDANGERED PLACES list in New Mexico. Listings have included historically and architecturally significant buildings, districts and archaeological sites as well as important cultural heritage and natural phenomena such as New Mexico’s night skies, all of which were endangered by neglect, inappropriate renovation or development.
More than 80 sites have been added to the MEP list to date. Many of these have been saved because listing raises public awareness of the threat to the site, encourages support for its preservation, and focuses attention on the resources available (financial and otherwise) for preserving it.
