Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage

The Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage, established in 1972 by UNESCO, aims to preserve significant cultural and natural sites worldwide. It recognizes places of outstanding value, such as ancient ruins, historic towns, and unique ecosystems. By designating these sites as World Heritage, the convention encourages countries to protect and manage them, promoting international cooperation and funding for conservation efforts. The goal is to ensure these treasures are preserved for future generations to appreciate, understand, and enjoy.
