Course Description
The British Isles have a remarkable assemblage of heritage resources which includes evidence of past societies in archaeological sites, historically and architecturally significant cities, buildings and gardens, relics of our industrial past, outstanding areas of biodiversity, geodiversity and wildlife habitats, and great scenic beauty presented in our natural and culturally evolved landscapes. When a global view is taken, one is confronted with an overwhelming wealth and diversity of heritage expressed through the world's many cultures, and influenced by its differing landscape and climatic zones. It is of fundamental importance that this resource is protected to enable nations and cultures to maintain their roots and identity to maintain the intrinsic beauty of the heritage and the economic benefits that it may provide, and to enable present and future generations to appreciate and benefit from their inheritance. These values and qualities have been recognised by most nations and since 1972 185 countries have become signatories to the World Heritage Convention which seeks to foster worldwide understanding and appreciation of heritage resources and to recognize and preserve examples of the world's heritage that possess an outstanding universal value to humanity. State Parties to the Convention have therefore committed themselves to ensure the identification, protection, conservation, and presentation of World Heritage Sites, recognising that the identification and safeguarding of heritage located in their territory is primarily their responsibility.
