UNESCO World Heritage Centre

The UNESCO World Heritage Centre is part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that aims to protect and preserve sites of cultural and natural significance worldwide. It designates World Heritage Sites, which are places recognized for their outstanding value to humanity, like historic landmarks, natural wonders, or cultural traditions. The Centre helps countries manage these sites through guidelines, funding, and expertise, promoting awareness and conservation to ensure their preservation for future generations. By recognizing these sites, UNESCO highlights the importance of cultural diversity and the common heritage of humanity.
