Launch of Marine World Heritage App will bring marine crown jewels a lot closer
In celebration of World Oceans Day, the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 World Commission on Protected Areas and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre are launching a new iPhone application. This year鈥檚 Oceans Day theme 鈥淵outh: the Next Wave for Change鈥 inspired the development of the mobile application, which will act as a window on marine world heritage sites around the world.
Of all 6,000 marine protected areas on the planet, only 45 have the highest internationally recognized status for conservation, World Heritage. The application aims at increasing visibility of these exceptional places and facilitating access to information about their outstanding value.
鈥淧rotecting our 45 marine World Heritage sites takes more than just good management鈥攊t is also about people, their awareness, and how they can help care for the ocean and push for greater protection for the blue heart of the planet,鈥 says Dan Laffoley, Marine Vice Chair of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 World Commission on Protected Areas. 鈥淭hrough this app, we are delighted to be working with UNESCO鈥檚 World Heritage Center to take a revolutionary step forward in connecting individuals directly to the ocean.鈥
香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 has a long-standing partnership with UNESCO鈥檚 World Heritage Convention, which remains a powerful tool to protect these precious places and has known fascinating successes in many of them over the past 40 years. With this iPhone application it becomes possible to have all information about them at hand. The iPhone application allows viewing videos of these exceptional places and their managers and consulting decisions the World Heritage Committee takes about the status of their conservation.
The application can be for free from the app store and will soon also be available for android compatible devices. The work has been made possible by the generous ongoing support of the Tides of Time partners Jaeger Le Coultre and International Herald Tribune and the government of Flanders.
