Tabe'a : nature and world heritage in the Arab States : towards future IUCN priorities (Arabic version)

At a crucial time of rapid socio-economic change, Nature and World Heritage in the Arab States provides an assessment of World Heritage in the Arab States region. This includes the conservation outlook for the five existing natural and mixed World Heritage sites in the region, as well as an analysis of the regions’ potential natural heritage sites included in the Tentative Lists. The report has been produced by IUCN as a contribution to supporting the World Heritage Convention in the Arab States, recognizing the need to strengthen the identification, conservation and presentation of natural heritage in the region. It is intended to help identify future IUCN priorities for work on World Heritage. This report is a pilot project for a future, more extensive report, on the state of conservation of all natural and mixed World Heritage sites.
