World Heritage Site

A World Heritage Site is a landmark or area recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for its outstanding cultural or natural significance. These sites can include monuments, cities, forests, and landscapes that hold exceptional value for humanity. Being designated as a World Heritage Site means they are acknowledged for their importance to global heritage and require protection and preservation to ensure they can be enjoyed by future generations. Examples include the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Egypt, and the Galápagos Islands.
