About the world heritage
The heritage is an asset that we inherit from our ancestors today, and we have to hand over to our future generations. The forms of heritages are unique and diverse. They are ranged from the Serengetti plains of Tanzania to the pyramids of Egypt, the coral reefs of Australia and to the Baroque Cathedral of the South American continent, and they are all the remains of mankind. A special concept of ' World Heritage ' shows that these heritages have universal values that belong to all mankind regardless of the specific location. UNESCO adopted the Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Heritage of Natural Heritage and Natural Heritage in 1972 to excavate and protect the natural heritage and heritage of the natural heritage.
