World Heritage is the designation for places on Earth that are of outstanding universal value to humanity and, as such, have been inscribed on the World Heritage List to be protected for future generations to appreciate and enjoy. These places can be either natural or cultural sites. However, they must have exceptional universal values, which are essential across countries and generations. Regardless, a wonder of the world must inspire the observer. Similar to great artwork, it must evoke powerful emotions in the viewers.
Man-made wonders celebrate human endeavor and imagination through the ages; these places serve as man’s legacy from the past, the world today, and what humanity seeks to pass on to future generations. Natural wonders can encourage men to think and explore the world around them. It pushes men to explore beauty beyond what their minds can capture. Both are irreplaceable sources of life.
