Oceania World Heritage Site


The UNESCO World Heritage List is comprised of sites considered to have outstanding universal value.  The sites are chosen due to their cultural and natural heritage.  The following map gallery was created to share some of the World Heritage sites for the Asia/Oceania zone.  There are ten sites mapped including: archaeological sites, marine protected areas, diverse landscapes, protected wildlife zones, and unique geological formations.  The maps were created using ArcGIS online.  Included with the maps, visitors will find links to additional interesting information about the sites. This map gallery can be accessed at: http://goo.gl/fl0JN
This map gallery should not be considered a comprehensive review of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Oceania. Rather, it should be viewed as a compilation of some of the interesting sites within that area. For more detailed and expansive information, one should view the UNESCO World Heritage list: one of the main resources used in building this map gallery. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.
