The main objectives of the current project Bamiyan Phase IV (costing just over US$ 1.5 million, with an implementation period of 2012 to 2015) are: to facilitate the feasibility study for the long-term preservation of the Buddha niches; promote institutional and community capacity-building in conservation, monitoring, planning, management, and community awareness for a cultural heritage-based sustainable development program, including the linkage of this Phase IV project to the creation of a Bamiyan Museum for Peace; and to ensure scientific documentation of site findings and operations. The current work at Bamiyan focuses on the eventual removal of the property from the List of World Heritage in Danger. While substantial progress has been made, a number of threats to the site remain. Development pressure is an imminent threat to the cultural landscape of the Bamiyan Valley and its archeological remains (Manhart and Lin 2014).
