Your donation for the World’s most precious places
_______________________________________
World Heritage Sites are the most important places to learn about the richness and diversity of our cultural history and natural environment. They are the Must-See places that we all strive to see in our lifetimes.
Many generations before us have preserved them, and because of their outstanding universal value the international community has decided to protect them through international law. We cannot imagine a world without them.
However, more and more world heritage sites are threatened by development pressure, mass tourism, war, resource depletion, urbanization, climate change and investor projects, but also by neglect and mismanagement.
On the other hand, UNESCO alone is powerless; it can only warn governments. Civil society worldwide must demand the protection of the sites and create public pressure. We are all called to preserve them and pass them on to the next generations unscathed. Please contribute to this effort by making a regular donation!
