| Summary | The Caucasus Heritage Watch (CHW) programme, led by Cornell University, is a research initiative founded in 2020 to monitor and document threatened cultural heritage in the South Caucasus, particularly in Nagorno-Karabakh. It uses satellite imagery to track the condition of sites in near real time and conducts historical analyses of heritage erasure. Its goal is to produce evidence, strengthen political accountability and alert the international community, while contributing to heritage preservation in a conflict context. |
