UNESCO Urges Governments to Protect Heritage Sites from Global Warming By VOA News 11 July 2006 The U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization is urging governments to protect World Heritage Sites - including Mount Everest and Venice - from global warming. At a conference in Lithuania Monday, UNESCO said the outstanding universal value and integrity of these places must be protected from the adverse effects of climate change. The list of at-risk sites includes glaciers in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland; barrier reefs along the coasts of Australia and Belize; and Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro. Also Monday, UNESCO removed four sites from its Danger List, citing improved conditions for their survival - the 13th century cathedral in Cologne, Germany; Senegal's Djoudj Bird Sanctuary; the Group of Monuments in Hampi, India; and Ichkeul National Park in Tunisia.
