Worldwide, 97 World Heritage forestsprotect more than 73 million hectares of woodland. This accounts for 1.9 percent of the global forest cover andabout 13 percent of the surface area ofall protected forests on the planet. The World Heritage Sustainable Tourism

Programme helps visitors discover WorldHeritage sites while encouraging respect ofthe environment and local cultures andenhancing community livelihoods.

World Heritage sites are inscribed on theList on the basis of their merits as forminga significant contribution to the culturaland natural heritage of the world. Theiroutstanding universal value is consideredto go beyond national boundaries and tobe of importance for future generations.

Conserving the diversity of life on Earth iscritical to global human welfare. With thesupport of the World Heritage Convention,the most important biodiversity sitesreceive international recognition as well astechnical and financial assistance to dealwith threats such as agricultural encroach-ment, alien species and poaching.

The Earthen Architecture ConservationProgramme works toward conserving andrevitalizing earthen architecture, which isthreatened by natural disasters and indus-trialization. Currently, some one hundredproperties on the World Heritage List arepartially or totally built with earth.

The World Heritage Marine Programmehelps countries nominate marine sites andmanage them effectively to ensure that theywill thrive for future generations. There arecurrently 33 marine sites on the WorldHeritage List.

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

The World Heritage emblem symbolizesthe interdependence of the world’s naturaland cultural diversity. The central squarerepresents the achievements of human skilland inspiration, and the circle celebratesthe gifts of nature. The emblem is round,like the world, a symbol of global protec-tion for the heritage of all humankind.

rom the vast plains of the Serengeti to historiccities such as Vienna, Lima and Kyoto; from theprehistoric rock art on the Iberian Peninsula tothe 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 areWorld Heritage sites of outstanding cultural or naturalvalue to humanity and are worthy of protection forfuture generations to know and enjoy.

The World Heritage Cities Programmeseeks to protect living historic city centresand their cultural and architectural her-itage from threats such as uncontrolleddevelopment or inappropriate construction.

The Small Islands Programme focuses onpreserving heritage on the islands of theCaribbean Sea and the Atlantic, Pacificand Indian oceans.

EXTRACTS… parts of the cultural or natural heritage are of out-standing interest and therefore need to be preserved aspart of the world heritage of humankind as a whole.

… [with] the magnitude and gravity of the new dan-gers threatening… [the world’s heritage], it is incum-bent on the international community as a whole to participate in the protection of the cultural and naturalheritage of outstanding universal value…

An Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of the Cultural and Natural Heritage of OutstandingUniversal 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...
