Because of its exposure to the open air, rock art is exposed to acts of deterioration. It has survived with greater or lesser success to inclement weather, such as rain, wind, sunlight or frost; however, the main dangers to its conservation are ignorance of what it represents, vandalism and greed, which have caused the disappearance of many rock art sites. It is important to reflect that each rock design is a unique and unrepeatable manifestation, which encloses part of the cosmovision, the way of thinking, the belief systems and the history of the ancient societies that inhabited the territory; it is a legacy of the societies that preceded us. They are, in their own right, part of the cultural heritage of Mexico and the world, so their protection and conservation as a heritage asset requires the participation of society.
