SMITHSONIAN AND UNESCO LINK UP TO CELEBRATE WORLD HERITAGE CONVENTION
July 30, 2012
News Release
The Smithsonian and UNESCO have developed a joint project, “Protection,
Preservation and Prosperity: Stories of World Heritage,” to celebrate the World
Heritage Convention’s 40th anniversary. The project focuses on 10 World Heritage
Sites, including the Everglades and Taos Pueblo in the United States, the Agave
Landscape and Ancient Industrial Facilities of Tequila in Mexico, the West Lake
Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou in China and the Cliff of Bandiagara in Mali.
The sites will be featured on a new website worldheritage.si.edu, accompanied by
a mobile app, educational curriculum and a poster-based exhibition. The
anniversary marks the creation of an international treaty in 1972 to protect and
conserve outstanding sites of cultural and natural heritage. Today, 189
countries are parties to the Convention and 962 sites are inscribed on the World
Heritage list.
The project combines the World Heritage Center’s vast archives, reports,
research and other materials with the Smithsonian’s resources and specimens from
its museums and science centers. For example, the National Museum of Natural
History has a cache of Agave botanical specimens collected in the 1950s, and the
artwork in the Sackler Gallery of Art’s collections shows how West Lake
exemplified the harmonious relationship between people and nature that has
inspired poets, artists and gardeners in China for more than a thousand years.
“The launch of the ‘Protection, Preservation and Prosperity’ offers local
communities a forum to share their experiences and ideas as central players in
the preservation of heritage,” said Irina Bokova, director-general of UNESCO.
“This is a welcome event as we dedicate the 40th anniversary celebration of the
World Heritage Convention to sustainable development and the role of local
communities.”
“UNESCO’s World Heritage Programme has played an enormous role in preserving the
treasure of humanity and the natural wonders of the planet in a way that will
inspire future generations,” said Richard Kurin, the Smithsonian’s Under
Secretary for History, Art and Culture. “We expect this website and app to
extend that fine work.”
