联合国教科文组织在韩国釜山召开的委员会会议上,将多个具有重要历史和自然价值的地点列入世界遗产名录。[1]其中包括法国诺曼底的D日登陆海滩、希腊奥林匹斯山、日本飞鸟和藤原古都遗址,以及南苏丹的博马-巴丁吉洛迁徙景观。[1]
法国诺曼底五个登陆海滩(Omaha、Utah、Sword、Gold、Juno)及Pointe du Hoc据点见证了1944年6月6日盟军的历史性登陆行动,超过150,000名盟军士兵参与了这次登陆。[1]希腊最高峰奥林匹斯山海拔2,918米,经过12年的等待最终获得了文化与自然遗产的混合认定。[1]日本飞鸟和藤原遗址包含来自6-8世纪的19个考古遗址。[1]南苏丹博马-巴丁吉洛地区是约600万只白耳羚羊、跳羚和蒙加拉瞪羚进行迁徙的地点,这也是南苏丹首次获得世界遗产认定。[1]
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has inscribed France's Normandy D-Day landing beaches, Greece's Mount Olympus, Japan's Asuka and Fujiwara ancient capitals, and South Sudan's Boma-Badingilo migration landscape on the World Heritage List [1][2]. The decision was made at a committee meeting held in Busan, South Korea [1].
France's five Normandy landing beaches—Omaha, Utah, Sword, Gold, and Juno—along with the Pointe du Hoc stronghold, commemorate the historic Allied amphibious operation of June 6, 1944, when more than 150,000 Allied soldiers came ashore [1]. Mount Olympus, Greece's highest peak standing at 2,918 meters (9,573 feet), achieved the designation after a 12-year effort and received recognition as a mixed cultural and natural heritage site [1][2]. The Japanese sites comprise 19 archaeological locations dating from the 6th to 8th centuries [1]. The Boma-Badingilo region in South Sudan, where the designation marks the country's first World Heritage inscription [2], supports the migration of approximately 6 million white-eared kob, tiang, and mongalla gazelle [1].
