In Gansu, Climate Change Threatens China's Ancient Silk Road Relics

Extreme weather events

driven by climate change

are increasingly threatening ancient

cultural

relics

in China's northwestern Gansu province.

New research indicates

(

that

cave paintings and

artifacts

in Dunhuang and Zhangye, particularly those in the Mogao Caves, a

UNESCO

World Heritage site, are facing significant deterioration and damage due to unprecedented

rainfall)

.In a study likely to be released later this week,

researchers

from the National Climate Center, Dunhuang Research Academy, and environmental nonprofit Greenpeace

sought

to

assess the effects

of climate change on the cave paintings.Combining

meteorological

data

analysis,

on-site

observations, and in-depth assessments of the cave paintings and artifacts,

they aimed to

shed light on

the deteriorating condition of these cultural relics, while emphasizing the need for conservation efforts and resource allocation.

在甘肅，氣候變化威脅著中國(guó)古代絲綢之路遺跡

氣候變化引發(fā)的極端天氣事件正日益威脅著中國(guó)西北部甘肅省的古代文物。新的研究表明，由于前所未有的降雨，敦煌和張掖的洞穴繪畫(huà)和文物，特別是聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)莫高窟的繪畫(huà)和文物正面臨著嚴(yán)重的退化和破壞。在可能于本周晚些時(shí)候發(fā)布的一項(xiàng)研究中，來(lái)自國(guó)家氣候中心、敦煌研究院和環(huán)保非營(yíng)利組織綠色和平的研究人員試圖評(píng)估氣候變化對(duì)洞穴繪畫(huà)的影響。他們結(jié)合氣象數(shù)據(jù)分析、現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀測(cè)和對(duì)洞穴繪畫(huà)和文物的深入評(píng)估，旨在揭示這些文物的惡化狀況，同時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)保護(hù)工作和資源分配的必要性。他們結(jié)合氣象數(shù)據(jù)分析、現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀測(cè)和對(duì)洞穴繪畫(huà)和文物的深入評(píng)估，旨在揭示這些文物的惡化狀況，同時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)保護(hù)工作和資源分配的必要性。 來(lái)自澎湃新聞?dòng)⑽陌妫⊿ixth Tone）
