World Heritage Convention

The World Heritage Convention is an international agreement established in 1972 to recognize and protect cultural and natural sites of outstanding value around the world. Managed by UNESCO, it aims to preserve these sites for future generations. Countries can nominate locations to be listed as World Heritage Sites, highlighting their importance to humanity. This convention fosters international cooperation to safeguard these treasures while promoting awareness of their significance. Sites like the Great Wall of China or the Galápagos Islands are examples of locations that have been designated to help ensure their protection and preservation.
