Syria faces severe threats of human destruction and loss of cultural heritage due to ongoing armed conflicts combined with environmental issues like sandstorms. This project aims to protect Syrian cities and cultural artifacts in two ways: constructing protective vegetative barriers around urban areas to reduce sandstorm impacts, and repatriating looted cultural artifacts through museum decolonization. The vegetative barriers involve strategically planting concentric rings of vegetation, with inner "suicide rings" of trees expected to take the brunt of storm damage. This multi-layered approach can effectively reduce wind speeds and sand volumes reaching cities. Additionally, many Syrian antiquities have been looted in recent years, scattered in museums globally. To reclaim this cultural heritage, international museums would systematically return Syrian artifacts, allowing new decentralized museums to be built behind the vegetative barriers where artifacts can be securely displayed near their original provenances. Together, these two approaches could mitigate key threats to Syrian heritage, countering wartime destruction and environmental damage with green infrastructure and artifact repatriation
