The preservation of cultures in African deserts is the most important objective of the Jutta Vogel Stiftung (Foundation) founded by Jutta Vogel. The foundation seeks to raise awareness of the cultural heritage in Africa’s desert areas, to support the encounter between cultures, to improve knowledge of the people and their ways of life, and to protect and preserve their rich heritage.
The purpose of the foundation is realized through the following measures: the support for measures to protect cultures and landscapes, research projects on the history of cultures and landscapes, preservation and expert conservation of monuments and prehistoric sites, scholarly documentation and publications in the deserts of Africa.
