Pelorinho and other OLD parts of the city of Salvador need to be protected and preserved for future genarations...It's our HISTORY,and what is beautiful and fascinating about this town.

My guess is that there a few reasons -
1) the primary problem is that it is expensive to maintain and preserve - and frankly the funds are needed elsewhere
2) politics and corruption - sad to say, but some politicos are more apt to line their pockets than to spend it on buildings
I think if folks could see that there is a need to preserve, it might just happen. If they could market it for tourism - or offer incentives to businesses to participate in the preservation, etc. it might happen. Take for example the endangered animals in Africa - many of the foks there recognize there is more money to be made in preserving the animals for tourism than in killing the animals (poaching). I think it has to be a community decision and everyone needs to buy in and see the importance.
Personally, I have not been to Salvador, but I have friends from their and I have seen many photos and it is something to see. I love the architecture and style and history.

The Bahia government is forgetting that Salvador has a lot of sightseeing and need to be preserved. Nowadays, Salvador registered a reduction of tourists...

You´re completely right...but I´m afraid you should do your complaining to the right people...the Administration Office of the city of Salvador, the Mayor´s office and the House of Representatives of the city of Salvador.
Good luck!

I recently went on vacation to Salvador, when we went to downtown, it was beautiful, and There was restoration. It was minimal but there was some. Hopefully if more tourist turn to Salvador that will increase the revenue.

i could say that is risk-free in case you stayed in one city purely, yet you're speaking approximately driving practically all the way through Mexico! The places are desirable yet i does not possibility it. on the different hand, in the process the intense season, the government have extra cops - particularly on the roads. And the main possibly component to take place is that criminals will take your motor vehicle at gun element. that could desire to be a advantageous tale to tell your friends. :)

There is restoration going on but funds are very short. Bahia is not a wealthy state.

My guess is politics. Maybe you should start a group to help raise money to fix it up.
