About the World Heritage Convention and 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播

Iconic sites such as the Gal谩pagos聽Islands, the pyramids of Egypt, the medieval city of Bruges, or the Serengeti have received the highest level of international recognition: World Heritage designation. These sites tell our shared human story. They are irreplaceable.

The idea of combining conservation of cultural sites with those of nature comes from the USA. A 1965 White House Conference in Washington D.C. called for 鈥淎 Trust for the World Heritage鈥 to stimulate 鈥渋nternational cooperative efforts to identify, establish, develop and manage the world鈥檚 superb natural and scenic and areas and historic sites for the present and future benefit of the entire world citizenry鈥 (). In 1968 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 developed similar proposals for its members and went on to draft the Convention together with UNESCO. The US was the first country to ratify the 1972 World Heritage Convention. 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 is explicitly recognized as the Convention鈥檚 technical Advisory Body on nature.
