Yesterday it was announced by UNESCO that 27 new sites have been added to the World Heritage list. The news was released after the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee in Quebec City, Canada. A few of the new sites are the Fujian Tulou in China, the Berlin Modernism Housing Estates in Germany and the Kuk Early Agricultural Site in Papua New Guinea. These sites bring the total of World Heritage sites to 878 sites in 145 countries. Although some of the sites are not accessible to tourists, I think it is a very important list as it will ensure that these treasures will be saved for future generations. However, the list doesn’t cover every country in the world, but I’m sure that those countries not included have important landmarks that need protecting.
