rom the vast plains of the Serengeti to historic cities such as Vienna, Lima and Kyoto; from the prehistoric rock art on the Iberian Peninsula to the Statue of Liberty; from the Kasbah of Algiers to the Imperial Palace in Beijing — all of these places, as varied as they are, have one thing in common. All are World Heritage sites of outstanding cultural or natural value to humanity and are worthy of protection for future generations to know and enjoy.

Cultural heritage refers to monuments, buildings and sites with historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological or anthropological value. Natural heritage refers to outstanding physical, biological or geological features and includes habitats of threatened species, as well as areas with scientific, environmental or aesthetic value. Mixed sites have both cultural and natural values.

EXTRACTS … parts of the cultural or natural heritage are of outstanding interest and therefore need to be preserved as part of the world heritage of humankind as a whole.

In the warm sapphire waters surrounding the 250 km Belize Barrier Reef—largest in the Western Hemisphere—shimmering mahogany snappers are among 500 species of fish, as well as threatened sea turtles, crocodiles, and manatees, which find refuge in a lush garden of coral, mangrove forests and estuaries.

… [with] the magnitude and gravity of the new dangers threatening… [the world’s heritage], it is incumbent on the international community as a whole to participate in the protection of the cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value…

An Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of the Cultural and Natural Heritage of Outstanding Universal Value, called “the World Heritage Committee”, is… established within UNESCO. ... the Committee shall establish… under the title of "World Heritage List", a list of the properties forming part of the cultural heritage and natural heritage... which it considers as having outstanding universal value...

On a cliff above the St Lawrence River, the Historic District of Québec, Canada, founded in 1608 as an outpost for exploration and defence, became the religious and administrative heart of New France and remained a vital center of the fur trade under British rule. The only walled city north of Mexico, Old Québec preserves 4.5 km of ramparts and architecture spanning four centuries.

The Geirangerfjord, one of the West Norwegian Fjords, is among the world’s longest, deepest and most pristine, flowing between sheer 1,400 m rock walls punctuated by waterfalls and evergreen forests.

The coral stone and mangrove wood architecture of Lamu Old Town blends influences from Africa, Asia and Europe, a legacy of more than 700 years of continuous settlement in the thriving Kenyan port, a centre of Swahili culture and Islamic studies.

The intricate lace-like brickwork of Afghanistan’s soaring 65 m Minaret of Jam, erected in the late twelfth century, is a hallmark of the region’s Islamic architecture. The tower and surrounding remains, threatened by war and looting, were added to the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2002.

For 2,000 years the Ifugao have planted terraced rice fields in the Philippine Cordilleras of Luzon Island, but today ancient ties between land and people are severing as the young abandon mountain villages, threatening the future existence of the emerald terraces.

Glowing in reflected morning light, the unique interlocking shells of the Sydney Opera House protect two concert halls and symbolize the modern sensibility of twentieth-century Australia. Completed in 1973, it became a World Heritage site in 2007 for its architectural and structural innovations.

World Heritage Convention

he United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) works with countries around the world to identify and protect cultural and natural places that merit recognition as part of the common heritage of humankind.

UNESCO adopted the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1972. Since then, 184 countries have ratified the treaty, and at present 851 properties are inscribed on the List — 660 of which are cultural, 166 natural and 25 mixed (a combination of the two). They are noted here in alphabetical order by country and in the order they were listed.

1979 Year in which each of the 184 States Parties adhered to the World Heritage Convention A variety of dangers due to natural causes or human intervention are constantly threatening World Heritage. As a result, 30 properties (in bold on the list) are currently inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger and are thus entitled to particular attention and emergency conservation action.
