In a remarkable development, India’s presence in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites has seen a spike with seven natural and picturesque locations making it to the tentative list, thus paving the way for their formal inclusion in the final list. With these additions, the country’s count in the tentative list has risen from 62 to 69 properties. Notably, the inclusion in the tentative list is a precursor to its nomination in the prestigious World Heritage List. Notably, India recently hosted the 46th Session of the World Heritage Committee in New Delhi in July 2024, which saw the participation of more than 2,000 delegates from over 140 countries. These volcanic formations lie within the Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary, already a UNESCO World Heritage site, thereby showcasing India’s geological marvels.
