Conservation Unit

The Conservation Unit is divided into groups of conservators according to the temples they control. Each group has a fairly large number of guards, who perform such tasks as:

  • Sanitation: Clean up the site.
  • Enforcement of regulations: Prohibit any kind of selling inside the site.
  • Environmental protection: Take care of the landscape around the site and survey the surrounding trees for potential risks (such as falling branches).
  • Safety: Make sure that local and foreign visitors do not get harmed at the temples.
  • Relationship to surrounding villagers: Avoid home building or any kind of construction, deforestion, destruction of sites of archaeological interest etc.
  • Other works: they prohibit the sellers who make trouble to the visitors, illegal looting, any kind of construction inside the site and anarchic activities in the temple complex.
