Overview

The UNESCO World Heritage program is a global initiative that identifies, protects, and preserves cultural and natural heritage sites around the world. With a rich history, the program aims to promote international cooperation and recognition of the world's most significant and unique landmarks. From ancient ruins to natural wonders, World Heritage Sites are judged to contain 'cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity'. The program is administered by a committee, which selects sites based on their cultural, historical, or scientific significance. The program's impact extends beyond preservation, as it also promotes sustainable tourism, community engagement, and economic development.
