Question

Who named the great barrier reef a heritage sight.?

Answer 1

The "Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage".

- That's a long title for an international treaty that attempts to identify and protect some of the world's greatest cultural and natural sites.

The World Heritage Committee, a group of 21 representatives from countries who have agreed to abide by the convention, decides which sites of "outstanding universal value" qualify for World Heritage status. UNESCO, or the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, adopted the World Heritage designation in 1972 after it was uncertain if some of the world's landmarks would survive into the future.

Answer 2

UNESCO, United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization
