The '''World Monuments Watch''' is a flagship advocacy program of the [New York](/source/New_York_City)–based private [non-profit organization](/source/non-profit_organization) [World Monuments Fund](/source/World_Monuments_Fund) (WMF) and [American Express](/source/American_Express) aimed at identifying and [preserving](/source/Historic_preservation) the world’s most important endangered cultural landmarks.<ref name=1996_press_release>{{cite web | title = American Express Company Gift Launches International Program to List and Protect Sites | publisher = World Monuments Fund | url = http://www.wmf.org/pdf/pubs_Milestones1995Fall.pdf|access-date=9 September 2009}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> It targets selected sites for immediate action, to call attention to the need for innovative approaches to protect threatened sites throughout the world.<ref name=1996_press_release />

==Selection process==
Every two years, the program publishes a select list known as the Watch List of 100 Most Endangered Sites that is in urgent need of preservation funding and protection. The sites are nominated by governments, private organizations active in the field of heritage conservation, and concerned individuals.<ref name=1996_press_release /> An independent panel of international experts then convene to evaluate and select 100 candidates from these entries to be part of the Watch List, based on the significance of the urgency of its situation, the viability of proposed remedies, and the site's overall significance.<ref name=1996_press_release /> WMF and American Express award grants to sites included on the Watch List through the WMF Fund, which is composed of donations from corporate, individual and foundation sponsors.<ref name=1996_press_release /> These grants are meant to support activities such as strategic planning, emergency and technical assistance, educational and local fund raising programs, and conservation treatment.<ref name=1996_press_release />

==1996 Watch List==
The 1996 World Monuments Watch List of 100 Most Endangered Sites was launched on August 4, 1995.<ref name=1996_press_release />
