National Heritage Conservation Commission The Institution mandated by Cap 173 of the Laws of Zambia to manage and Conserve Zambia's outstanding Cultural and Natural Heritage resources is the National Heritage Conservation Commission (NHCC) which has its headquarters in [Lusaka]. According to ICOMOS (see references), the NHCC ’ s profile report, it lists over 4000 heritage sites in Zambia, including: historic/architectural/buildings (over 384 sites) historic sites (over 180 sites) anthropological sites (over 189 sites) engineering industrial structures (over 62 sites) archaeological sites (over 2000 sites) geomorphological sites, geophysical sites, palaeontological, ecology and other sites. However, only about 35\% of the country ’ s land area has been adequately surveyed for cultural heritage and, due to a shortage of funds, the condition of most of the listed sites is not known, however, the Commission with the assistance from Government has been making strides to ensure more sites are surveyed and opened to the public. So far out of the 4,000 cultural and natural heritage sites, 101 are declared National Monuments.ICOMOS Zambia report online, 2002, website accessed 22 February 2007.
