The Moon is added to the 2025 World Monuments Fund's list of endangered sites for the first time.

The World Monuments Fund has added the Moon to its 2025 list of 25 endangered cultural sites, marking the first time a non-Earth location has been included. The Moon's inclusion highlights the need for international protection of over 90 lunar sites, including Tranquility Base, amid growing private and government space exploration. Other sites on the list, such as Gaza's historic fabric, are threatened by conflict, climate change, and natural disasters. The WMF aims to raise awareness and encourage global cooperation to protect these cultural heritages.
