2.6 World Heritage
A World Heritage Site is a site
determined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) to have significant cultural or natural importance to
humanity. As such the sites are protected and maintained by the International
World Heritage Programme which is administered by the UNESCO World Heritage
Committee. Because World Heritage Sites are places that are significant
culturally and naturally, they vary in type and include forests, lakes,
monuments, buildings and cities.
World Heritage Sites can also be
combination of both cultural and natural area. For example, Mount Huangshan in
China is a site with significance to human cultural because it played a role in
historical Chinese art and literature. The mountain is also significant because
of its physical landscape characteristics.
