The selection of "World Heritage" has a set of detailed and strict criteria
However, successful entry into the "World Heritage List" does not mean that it will be done once and for all.
The World Heritage Convention sets out protection obligations
If the world heritage is left unchecked, it will be destroyed
It may also be "delisted", that is, withdrawn from the list

Possess numerous world heritage sites
They have a glorious history
We should also go to the future in peace
