Article Synopsis
- Over the past 150 years, mismanagement and misunderstandings about conservation have caused irreversible damage to some prehistoric painted caves, despite their natural ability to preserve delicate remains for up to 40,000 years due to stable internal climates.
- The concept of "underground confinement" is introduced, highlighting that caves with stable climates, particularly temperature, have the best conservation properties, and these systems should not be considered entirely closed off from their surroundings.
- Case studies from various French caves, including Chauvet, Marsoulas, Pech Merle, and Gargas, demonstrate different states of confinement and effective strategies to enhance their conservation by restoring optimal climate conditions and managing human impact.
