World Heritage Sites World Heritage Sites are sites that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee includes in UNESCO World Heritage Programme. These sites may be natural, such as forests and mountain ranges, or man-made.
The programme was launched through the Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage adopted by UNESCO General Conference that convened on 16 November, 1972.
This programme aims at classifying, labelling and protecting the sites that are particularly important for the humanity, whether they are cultural or natural.
