The UNESCO World Heritage program recognizes and protects sites of cultural, historical, or natural significance around the globe. These sites are chosen for their outstanding value to humanity, showcasing the diversity of our shared heritage. Examples include the Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Giza, which attract millions of visitors each year.
Being designated as a World Heritage site helps preserve these treasures for future generations. It also promotes awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity and natural beauty. The program encourages countries to work together to safeguard these important places, ensuring they remain part of our global legacy.
