World Heritage

World Heritage refers to sites, monuments, or cultural practices recognized by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) for their outstanding universal value. These locations can be natural wonders, like the Grand Canyon, or culturally significant places, such as the Pyramids of Egypt. Being designated as a World Heritage site highlights their importance to humanity’s shared history and encourages preservation efforts. This designation helps protect these treasures from threats like urban development and environmental changes, ensuring they remain for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
