World Heritage Sites

Cultural resource management (CRM) involves not only preserving sites but also allowing their destruction if they are not significant. The "management" part of the term refers to the evaluation and decision-making process.

Armed conflict and war, earthquakes and other natural disasters, pollution, poaching, uncontrolled urbanization and unchecked tourist development pose major problems to World Heritage sites.

Silly question. Let's ask, why should the Lao people be proud? Why should the Cambodian people be proud? why should the Colombian people be proud? People are proud of their "race" and national heritage because that's who they are. They've been discriminated against because of imperialism (for example, the way the "foreign devils" have treated the Chinese) and now that imperialism is long over, people should be proud of who they are.

"The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972," per http://whc.unesco.org/en/about/ While the goal of the UNESCO World Heritage Site project is to recognize and protect significant sites worldwide, most parks benefit only in increased recognition and worldwide awareness as a place of importance. Unless a park or preserve is established the World Heritage Fund monies that would not otherwise be established, the designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is mostly a feather in the cap for sites that are already protected. Some people believe, wrongly, that U.S. National Parks that are designated as World Heritage Sites are being "taken over" by the United Nations. Quite on the contrary, the UN has no bearing on how US National Parks are managed and parks seek the designation mainly for publicity.
