ISLAMABAD: The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) has accepted a proposal to include eight more Pakistani sites of cultural and natural significance to its list of World Heritage Sites.
The Derawar Fort in Cholistan, Hingol Cultural Landscape in Balochistan, Nagarparkar Cultural Landscape in Sindh, Central Karakoram National Park and Deosai National Park in Gilgit-Baltistan, Ziarat Juniper Forest and Karez System Cultural Landscape in Balochistan and the Khewra Salt Range in Punjab have been named in a tentative list prepared by the Department of Archaeology and Museums (DOAM) and accepted by Unesco as properties of universal value.
The acceptance of these sites by the UNESCO as the world heritage sites would give boost to the preservation of these historical and cultural places.
