Please focus on the information of the passage.
Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from the past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.

Para.1:
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Eyptian government wanted to bulid a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce Electricity, and supply water to more famers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water form the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to the scientists who had suduied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the govermennt turned to United Nations for help in 1959

Para.2:
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptain buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contribution form different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world . Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and moved and put back together again in a plae where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers resuced 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.

When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that dis not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO , which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from disapperaing . If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
