Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. The World Heritage Fund was created in 1972 by the World Heritage Convention. Its purpose is to assist States Parties in identifying, preserving and promoting World Heritage sites.
