World Heritage Committee

The World Heritage Committee is a group of representatives from countries around the world that work together to protect and preserve sites of cultural and natural importance. They select and monitor World Heritage Sites—such as historic monuments, landscapes, and ecosystems—that are recognized for their outstanding value to humanity. The committee ensures these sites are maintained and safeguarded for future generations, encouraging international cooperation and support. Their work helps raise awareness about preserving our shared global heritage and promotes sustainable management of these valuable sites.
