Why should we preserve the World Heritage Sites?

उत्तर
World Heritage Sites are a symbol of the past. They represent different eras and give us a glimpse into the events, lives, and culture of a place that existed a long time ago. They are a legacy of that place and hence, we should preserve the World Heritage Sites so that we can gift them to the next generation as a memory of a bygone era.
