Welcome to GlobalXplorerº!
<p>The world has millions of archaeological sites still waiting to be discovered, many threatened with destruction by conflict, looting, encroachment, and environmental change. If we want to curtail archaeological destruction that’s happening on a global scale by a significant margin, it’s going to take more than the efforts of the planet’s handful of archaeologists. It’s going to require everyone’s help.</p>
