Overground and underground: which country trashes its own heritage most?

Since the 1970s 41% of Britain’s species have declined or been lost (due to urbanisation, agriculture, pollution, or climate change).

But in addition, over the same time period 8 out of 9 buried archaeological artefacts that have been found have gone unreported. But not due to urbanisation, agriculture, pollution, or climate change. Purely because of a lack of Government action.

No country has a combined record as shameful as that.
