The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designates World Heritage Sites of outstanding universal value to cultural or natural heritage which have been nominated by signatories to the 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention. Cultural heritage consists of monuments (such as architectural works, monumental sculptures, or inscriptions), groups of buildings, and sites (including archaeological sites). Natural heritage includes natural features (consisting of physical and biological formations), geological and physiographical formations (including habitats of threatened species of animals and plants), and natural sites that are important from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty. UNESCO lists sites under ten criteria; each entry must meet at least one of the criteria. Criteria i through vi are cultural, and vii through x are natural. The implementation of the World Heritage Convention, the addition or removal of properties from the World Heritage List, and the allocation of funds, among other responsibilities, are managed by the World Heritage Committee. There are twenty-one state members on the committee. Although a term is a maximum of six years, most state parties choose to relinquish their responsibilities after four years so other countries can have the opportunity to be a member of the committee. In addition to sites inscribed on the World Heritage List, member states can maintain a list of tentative sites that they may consider for nomination. Nominations for the World Heritage List are only accepted if the site was previously listed on the tentative list.
Africa is one of the five regions defined by UNESCO, alongside the Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and North America, and Latin America and the Caribbean. It consists of 47 Sub-Saharan African nations that have accepted the World Heritage Convention, making their historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list as World Heritage sites. The region has one hundred and eight properties on the World Heritage List. Of those properties, sixty-one were inscribed for their cultural significance, forty-two for their natural significance, and five for both their natural and cultural significancebeing termed mixed sites. There are currently thirteen World Heritage Sites in Africa that are endangered.
