Résumé en anglais

The fact that we cannot give a clear and simple answer to the question "Why do we take care of our cultural heritage?" is a major problem in our conservation work on both a national and an international level. By neglecting to maintain the philosophical basis for our work as conservationists, we not only place international co-operation at risk, but also our work involving the cultural heritage on a national level may cease to be taken seriously by politicians - even in the rich nations of the Western World.
