The Peruvian State will submit 18
nomination proposals of natural, cultural, and mixed sites to the
World Heritage List, thanks to joint efforts by the Ministry of Culture and the National Service of Natural Protected Areas (Sernanp).
Some of these proposals are available below:
Natural sites
• Sierra del Divisor National Park (likely to become a transboundary site).
•
Guano Islands, Isles and Capes System (composed of the Guano Islands, Isles and Capes National Reserve System,
the
Paracas National Reserve, and the San Fernando National Reserve).
• The Huayllay Stone Forest.
•
The Lomas Costeras System (composed of the
Lachay National Reserve, the Lomas de Ancon Reserved Area, and
the Lomas de Atiquipa Private Conservation Area).
Cultural sites
• The Site of the Ayacucho Battle. The Pampas de Ayacucho Historic Sanctuary was established for its conservation.
Mixed sites
• Paleontological sites in Pisco (Ica) and Camana (Arequipa) basins.
The inclusion of these sites in
UNESCO's World Heritage List means an international recognition to Peru for its valuable support, as well as its natural-cultural heritage for the world and future generations.
Only countries that have signed the World Heritage Convention, pledging to protect their natural and cultural heritage, can submit nomination proposals for properties on their territory to be considered for
inclusion in UNESCO's World Heritage List.
