UNESCO Helps Preserve World Heritage

In recent years, decay, neglect and modern pollution are increasingly threatening the world's great cultural and natural monuments. In 1975, UNESCO's World Heritage Convention was adopted, and now more than 300 sites around the world are under its protection - from the Taj Mahal and the temples of Abu Simbel, to the Galapagos Islands and the Statue of Liberty.
