UNESCO has made a lot of efforts to preserve cultural heritage worldwide.

Abu Simbel

The Temple of the Rising Sun was rediscovered in 1813 and later faced underwater destruction from the Aswan High Dam. In 1964, UNESCO launched a unique campaign to save Egypt's temples. Experts from 50 nations cooperated to move the entire site to a new location, ensuring preservation for future generations. International cooperation's success in saving Abu Simbel raised awareness about protecting valuable places worldwide from threats like conflict, destruction, and climate change.

Venice

Rising sea levels threaten Venice; flooding and humidity damage the city's foundations. Since 1966, UNESCO and Italy have collaborated on a project using giant floodgates to protect Venice from high tides. Venice still requires careful attention for its survival because it faces threats from mass tourism, urban development, and huge cruise ships. International pressure led to a 2021 ban on large vessels in the city center to protect Venice's environmental, artistic, and cultural integrity. This decision followed UNESCO's intent to list Venice as its World Heritage in Danger.

Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat faced abandonment and hiding by forests due to floods and droughts around 1500 A.D. Rediscovered in 1860, by the early 1990s, the site faced threats, including temple collapse and looting. Including Angkor Wat in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1992 marked a crucial step in Cambodia's recovery from years of conflict. UNESCO's support aimed at helping nation-building and reconciliation. The removal from UNESCO's List of World Heritage in Danger just fourteen years later is a credit to the Cambodian people.

Stari Most

The Old Bridge (Stari Most) is the most attractive destination in Mostar. This bridge historically unified diverse communities, but its intentional destruction in 1993 aimed to divide them. Five years later, UNESCO coordinated a reconstruction project to rebuild the Old Bridge. Despite the scars of the war that are still visible today on the city walls, the reconstructed bridge has become a symbol of reconciliation and post-conflict healing. Included on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2006, Stari Most today is a bridge between a common past and a common future.

Timbuktu

Timbuktu flourished in the 16th century and held 700,000 manuscripts reflecting Africa's rich history. In 2012–2013, over 4,000 manuscripts were lost, and 10,000 were at risk. To preserve this heritage, UNESCO supports local communities in manuscript conservation and rebuilding mausoleums and mosques, fostering reconciliation and reviving building traditions. Workers used traditional methods and local materials to ensure the rebuilt shrines looked like the old ones. The monuments in Timbuktu today are living heritage sites closely associated with religious rituals and community gatherings.
