The money is courtesy of Ambassador Fund for Cultural Preservation Program, which aims to preserve historic buildings, monuments, crafts and cultural expressions. Through projects like this one in the Sacred Grove, the United States and Nigeria are actively cooperating on means to protect Nigeria's cultural heritage. We are also finalizing a bilateral agreement that would establish restrictions against the import into the United States of prohibited items of cultural property. The agreement also would encourage public and private cultural institutions and law enforcement agencies in both countries to work together on repatriating trafficked objects and fostering cultural exchanges. This is a great opportunity to bring in specialists that will work on digitization of our World Heritage site. The Bosoin Shrine is one of eight monuments within the Oshun-Oshobo Grove. The groove itself has been hit by natural disaster, which is one of the considerations for a 3D digital documentation. The 3D digital documentation of the shrine is the necessary first step to provide the most accurate record of the current conditions of the site and effectively plan a restoration project that will increase resilience at the site during a natural disaster or extreme weather conditions. They also stress that the MOU signed will foster better preservation that will enable next generation appreciate culture. By signing this agreement, they have moved a step forward by preserving it.
