>> Back to IUCN evaluations of nominations for #44WHC
Each year, IUCN makes recommendations to the World Heritage Committee on the state of conservation of 55 to 65 World Heritage sites listed for their natural values. Due to cancellation in 2020, close to 100 monitoring reports will be reviewed by the Committee in 2021.
All state of conservation reports are available in the downloadable documents issued by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre; these include items "7A" and "7B" released in the first dispatch (on 4 June 2021), and items "7A.ADD" and "7B.ADD" in the second dispatch (in ca. mid-June). Quick links to individual monitoring reports for each site will be added as soon as these are available.
The sites monitored in 2020 and 2021 are listed below, along with links to previous Committee decisions, official documents for each site, and to the World Database on Protected Areas, Protected Planet.
