World Heritage Sites Are Treasures

World Heritage Sites represent our world's most precious natural and cultural places. Each one has "outstanding universal value" for you and me – and for everyone around the world.

In other words, the World Heritage Sites are so special that we want to make sure that when you grow up and have grandchildren, they will be able to see them in the same condition you can see them today.

Because World Heritage Sites are important to all of us, all of us are responsible for taking good care of them.

Each one has special characteristics. The swamps of the Everglades. The ancient structure of the Great Pyramid. The huge tortoises of the Galapagos Islands. Old Faithful in Yellowstone. The symbol of freedom of the Statue of Liberty.

Here's the list of the World Heritage Sites. Can you find the ones in your country? Are any of them near where you live?

I'll be exploring a different World Heritage Site every two months. You can read about my travel adventures here. When you subscribe to the World Heritage Pointer e-zine, you will receive a preview of the next episode the very first day it's published.

I'll be taking you to my absolute favorite World Heritage Sites!
