Honduras: Copán and environs
Score: 61

"Site has great aesthetic, historic and scientific appeal and the nearby village retains much of the local culture, food, and traditions. However, site management is weak; maintenance of monuments is minimal, and site interpretation is almost nonexistent."

"With a bit of creative interjection or management of the biodiversity aspects, this site would be even more amazing.Sustainable and improvable."

"… recent controversy about the construction of an airport only 10.5 miles (17 kilometers) from the site."

"The site itself continues to have a wonderful sense of 'discovery' about it. Visitors are not isolated from the resources."

"The archaeologists at Copán have helped to develop this area beyond just the hard scientific facts: community development."

"Lack of stakeholders coming to a consensus on public-use planning for the Copán Valley. Not prepared to manage a huge increase in visitation."
