Whether it's from urbanisation, unrest or natural disasters, many incredible places around the world are under threat, according to the World Monuments Fund (WMF).

The organisation has added 25 places to its 2020 World Monuments Watch – a watch-list for places of historical, social and cultural significance that need to be protected.
