Heritage a la Unesco
May 3, 2012
So, what is this heritage?
It refers to something inherited from the past; natural heritage, cultural heritage, heredity, ancestry etc etc.
Why is it important to conserve it?
Heritage defines what we are today, why we do things in a certain way, why something are the way they are. If we do not conserve it, preserve it in some form then we lose meaning of what we are, we lose the ability to understand how things came about to be. If it were not for ancient temple carvings, we would have no idea that our ancestors were skilled sculptors and loved their art. If it were not for billion year old rain forests, we would have no clue what kind of food chain prevailed and what leads to the current food patterns.
What am I doing to ensure that our heritage is intact?
I visit sites responsibly and tell people around me how fantastic they are. Also, I try to educate the value of the heritage and what it means to us. This year I am doing the GoUnesco challenge to visit all 26 UNESCO World Heritage listed sites in India.
