"The announcement came today during the 46th session of the UNESCO World
Heritage Committee in New Delhi, India.

“In line with IUCN’s recommendation, the World Heritage Committee has
significantly strengthened the protection of these world’s treasures and
sources of exceptional bio- and geodiversity,” said Tim Badman, Director of
World Heritage at IUCN.

“These areas are home to the world’s most impressive dunes, exceptional
cave-dwelling species, peat bogs and mires, as well as important bird migratory
routes, yet are all under increasing pressure. They will benefit from the
international recognition that comes from the UNESCO World Heritage List.”"
