Cultural heritage, looting and the antiquities trade

SAFE/Saving Antiquities for Everyone is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving cultural heritage worldwide. Our mission is to raise public awareness about the irreversible damage that results from looting, smuggling and trading illicit antiquities. We promote respect for the laws and treaties that enable nations to protect their cultural property and preserve humanity’s most precious non-renewable resource: the intact evidence of our undiscovered past. By creating educational programs and media campaigns in partnership with academia and the communications, legal and law enforcement communities, SAFE encourages ethical behavior to stop the trade in illicit antiquities from destroying the history that belongs to us all.
