The world heritage elements are now faced with grave threats in many parts of the world.
Recently, more than 80 percent of the Blue Mountains area of Sidney, Australia, which is inscribed on the World Heritage list was afflicted by a forest fire. It is said that there are many globally recognized animal and plant species on the verge of extinction in the region.
Earlier, the water pools of a national park in Zimbabwe listed as a world heritage element have run out due to the long spell of drought. It has created a negative impact on maintaining ecological environment in the region, causing difficulties in the living of many people.
There are several factors in threatening the world heritage.
The most distinctive cause in recent years is the abnormal weather phenomena.
The earth is getting hotter as time passes. High temperatures hit the world at any time, causing long spells of drought.
Experts argue that the world heritage protection faces a variety of threats caused by human activities, natural disasters and climate change.
Many countries have taken a series of measures to preserve the world heritage.
The Ecuadorian president stressed the importance of world heritage protection, saying the country would not build a military base in the Galapagos Islands on the world heritage list.
Every item on the world heritage list is associated with the tradition of each country and wisdom and soul of each nation and mirrors the history of development of humankind.
The restoration of relics of world significance is an undertaking to instil national pride and self-esteem into the people of each country as well as to protect and develop the diversity of human civilization. Therefore, every effort to preserve and manage the world heritage better is welcomed by the international community.
