The International Festival of Rock Art and the meeting on managing the Tassili n'Ajjer heritage in Djanet concluded with the adoption of the "Djanet Declaration," a strategic framework for safeguarding African rock art. The document highlights existential threats to the heritage, such as climate change, vandalism, site degradation, and unsustainable tourism. The declaration calls for rigorous preventive conservation efforts, including the use of modern technology for documentation and database management. It emphasizes local governance by empowering local guides and staff through training, while advocating for legislative frameworks that involve local communities in decision-making processes. Furthermore, the declaration promotes sustainable and responsible tourism, urging for an ethical code for visitors and the integration of local youth and women into the tourism value chain. The initiative aims to foster regional cooperation between the Sahara and Sahel regions to ensure this universal heritage is preserved for future generations.
