Syria: Save Palmyra


Rising out of the desert, Palmyra contains the monumental ruins of a great city that was one of the most important cultural centers of the ancient world.


The site, most of which dates back to the 1st and 2nd Century when the region was under Roman rule, is dominated by a grand, colonnaded street. Unfortunately, the Ancient, magical oasis city is under threat from Islamic State.


Don't let them blow all of this to smithereens. You must save Palmyra  and prevent its destruction. If  Palmyra is destroyed, the whole world is to blame…
