He wrote a detailed description in which he mentions the careful execution of each painted panel. </p><p>The end of the 19th century is noted for a revival in the awareness of the importance of conservation issues for historical works. In the El Museo Canario review, chronicler Batllori y Lorenzo writes "<i>Mi última tentativa</i>", a solemn appeal for the protection of the cave. Critics of the institutions' lack of action in that direction continue into the 20th century. But only in 1967 starts a public campaign in favour of the cave's protection - counting among its supporters Celso Martín de Guzmán and Elías Serra Ráfols. </p><p>Meanwhile, the paintings were deteriorating. In 1970 the General commission of archaeological excavations ("<i>Comisaría General de Excavaciones Arqueológicas</i>") started working on the protection of the cave, notably on the humidity that was causing much damage. This was completed with the construction of an enclosure to protect the cave - and the public. In 1972 the site was declared Monument historique artistique.<sup id="cite_ref-dscovr_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dscovr-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Antonio Beltrán and José Miguel Alzola realized the first systematic study, published in 1974 with the first colour photographies and the most exact drawings to that date. This was another big step into spreading the knowledge of the existence of the cave among the specialists. It also helped determine the deterioration of the paintings. The plantations being watered nearby, the inadequate protection of the enclosure, the absence of planning for the visits, the chemical soil treatments for agricultural purposes and the inadequate ventilation of the premises were the main factors in increasing temperature and humidity in the cave and the subsequent damage on the paintings. Expropriation procedures were then started regarding the cultivated nearby land, and the site was closed to the public in October 1982.<sup id="cite_ref-dscovr_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dscovr-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Painted cave museum and archaeological park of Galdar was reopened on 26 July 2006,<sup id="cite_ref-conf_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-conf-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> after 24 years excavating and restoring the site, and fitting it for public visits without further endangerment of the paintings and other historic items.
