Answer 1

1. It is important to preserve our rich heritage for the benefit of both the present and future generations.
2. Similarly, it is essential to preserve certain types of cultural and natural heritage that are on the verge of extinction. For example, historical monuments, traditional knowledge, biodiversity, etc. Hence, with the objective of promoting cultural and natural heritage, UNESCO, the global organisation, has issued guidelines. On the basis of those directives, UNESCO announces the list of World Heritage Sites.
