    What Are the Criteria for Listing Places in UNESCO World's Heritage Sites?

    There are 10 cultural and natural criteria UNESCO follows to list a place as a World Heritage Site. They are:

    • It must represent creative genius.
    • The site must bear an exceptional testimony of a civilisation or culture, living or disappearing.
    • It must interchange human values on developments in monumental arts, technology or architecture, landscape design or town planning.
    • The site should bear an attestation of cultural importance.
    • It is mandatory to feature magnificent instances of a type of building or landscape with a prominent place in history or a technological or architectural ensemble.
    • The site needs to exhibit traditional human settlement, representing a culture or human interaction with nature, especially when endangered due to irreversible changes.
    • It should comprise natural habitats for in-situ conservation of biological diversity. This includes endangered species of exceptional universal value.
    • The place must represent significant stages of the earth’s history. This includes geomorphic or physiological aspects, a record of life, and crucial ongoing geological activities developing landforms.
    • It should include remarkable instances of potential biological and ecological processes in the evolution and development of nature that is in progress.
    • The site must be directly or indirectly associated with living traditions, events, beliefs, ideas, and literary and artistic works of universal importance. However, the UNESCO Committee believes that this parameter should be considered with the rest. 

    Karnataka is one of the most diverse states in the country. Therefore, apart from the fascinating ruins of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Karnataka, explore the forests, waterfalls, beaches, lakes, and coffee plantations to enjoy all the bounties of nature to the fullest.
