In 1972, UNESCO approved a contract about worlds heritage. By this contract the worlds cultural and natural heritage is protected. Why was this contract made? The main thing is to care about worlds threatened cultural- and natural heritages, and preserve them to the next generation to see. The goal of the contract is to gain valuation to the unique cultures of different nations and spread the information. Every country that is involved with the UNESCO, is responsible to help other countries to protect and repair their targets of heritage.
