about us

Welcome to World Heritage Watch

With our network of over 180 groups worldwide, World Heritage Watch ensures that the world heritage is not sacrificed to political compromises and economic interests. We support UNESCO in getting complete and correct information about the situation of the sites. And we help local people to protect their sites and to have an appropriate benefit from them.

Our objectives are

to support UNESCO in protecting and safeguarding World Heritage properties;
to strengthen the role of civil society and indigenous peoples under the UNESCO World Heritage Convention;
to foster public awareness, information and education about, and to create a stronger identification with, the World Heritage;
to strengthen the implementation regime of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention;
