World Heritage List

The World Heritage List is a compilation of cultural and natural sites recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for their outstanding universal value. These sites include historic landmarks, cities, and natural wonders that are deemed significant for humanity's shared heritage. Being listed helps protect these sites, raises awareness about their importance, and promotes tourism. Examples include the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Egypt, and the Great Barrier Reef, which showcase the diversity and richness of our planet's history and environment.
