UN to list more sites as 'in danger' from conflict or climate change

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is preparing to add several global sites to its List of World Heritage in Danger due to threats such as conflict and climate change. These include a Biblical site in the West Bank, Lebanese castles affected by recent fighting, and the Boma-Badingilo ecosystem in South Sudan, where millions of animals migrate annually. The decision involves 196 member states voting at a meeting in Busan, South Korea. UNESCO emphasizes that designating sites as 'in danger' aims to raise awareness and secure resources for protection rather than serving as criticism. Some sites, like Sebastia in the West Bank, face challenges related to access and political tensions.
