Sites in the World

From the year 2010 there are 911 sites from 151 countries inscribed in the World Heritage List. Most of them are cultural properties, 20 % are natural sites while 27 of them are mixed of both cultural and natural value.

In the list Europe and Northern America are over-represented, as well as the christianity compared to the other world-wide religions. United efforts therefore are made through pressure, stimulus and selection in order to achieve a more balanced and representative list.
