Features: There is a consensus among humanity regarding the beauty of nature and culture. The abundant gifts bestowed upon the Earth by nature and the immortal footprints left by the development of global civilization are all irreplaceable treasures. In 1972, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted the Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage and accordingly established the "World Heritage Committee" and the "World Heritage Fund," with the aim of leveraging international efforts to protect humanity's shared treasures. The concept of World Natural and Cultural Heritage was proposed as a milestone in the development of human civilization. It represents a respect for nature, a summary and celebration of human creations.
