What is a World Heritage Site?

United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), since 1972, has been working with countries around the world to identify the places of outstanding universal value of cultural and natural heritage. These gifts from the past to the future are named as "World Heritage Sites".

Cultural heritage refers to monuments, groups of buildings with historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological or anthropological value. Natural heritage refers to outstanding physical, biological and geological formations, habitats of threatened species of plants and animals and areas with scientific, conservative or aesthetic value.

UNESCO World Heritage Centre established in the year 1992 is the co-ordinator for all World Heritage matters. It is situated in Paris, France. For more details, please visit their website http://whc.unesco.orgNew Window.
