Protected sites are areas designated for conservation to preserve their natural or cultural significance. These sites can include national parks, wildlife reserves, and historical landmarks. The goal is to safeguard biodiversity, ecosystems, and cultural heritage from threats like development, pollution, and climate change. Governments and organizations often manage protected sites through regulations and policies. Examples include the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites, which recognize places of outstanding universal value. By protecting these areas, we ensure that future generations can enjoy and learn from them.
