Friends of World Heritage is a United Nations Foundation grassroots campaign.

World Heritage sites belong to all of us – to enjoy, experience, and protect. Through Friends of World Heritage you can help protect the natural and cultural wonders of the world; explore the majesty of these places, recognized for their “outstanding value to humanity” under UNESCO’s World Heritage Convention; and experience for yourself the marvels of our World Heritage by visiting the sites. Our main goal, in addition to encouraging travel, is helping people understand the importance of traveling responsibly by being environmentally conscious and respecting the residents of the area being visited. Being a respectful traveler ensures that these amazing sites will be enjoyed in the future.
