Driven by the conciction that that Angkor Temples as Temples as testimonies of the old Khmer master-builders require equally masterful safeguarding interventions, GACP developed tis modern conservation conception and constantly optimizes it. Internationally recognized German conservation experts, many students, and the GACP team of local conservators deevoted their knowledge and efforts to develop the best possible conservation methods for Angkor.
The main focus of GACP is, besides documenting and examing the the weather damaged decorations at Angkor, to conduct conservation interventions based on scientific methods. The measures to preserve the sandstone, brick and stucco reliefs and decorations are taken by the skilled GACP team of Cambodian conservators trained in the frame of GACP Project.
For the celebration of 20 years of fruitful engagement for Khmer built heritage in Angkor and other parts of Cambodia GACP and APSARA Authority want to express their gratitude to all supporters and highlight some of the common achievements and new developments in a symposium on Conservation in Angkor.
