UNESCO has included Pakistan’s ancient clay musical instrument Boreendo from the Sindh region in its Urgent Safeguarding List, citing a serious risk of extinction. The decision was taken during the 20th session of the Intergovernmental Committee held at Delhi’s Red Fort. Linked to the Indus Valley civilisation, Boreendo now survives with only a few practitioners. UNESCO has called for immediate conservation measures, training of new artisans, and environmentally sustainable protection plans.
