              UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST

 The UNESCO World Heritage List 

spotlights the  planet’s most 

fascinating—and sometimes most

threatened—places and customs.

Nations try hard to get their glorious buildings, wilderness, and historic ruins on the list, a stamp of approval that brings prestige, tourist income, public awareness, and, most important, a commitment to save the irreplaceable.

In November 1972 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) inaugurated the list by adopting a treaty known as the World Heritage Convention. Its continuing goal is to recruit the world community in identifying cultural and natural properties of "outstanding universal value."
