#Canaima 🇻🇪 wasn’t going to be discussed at @UNESCO 44WHC but @SOSOrinoco + @WH_Watch asked for the floor Tons of documentation, satellite images, on-site research on thread below. Independent NGOs should not be shunned by big gvmts who happen to benefit from the gold mined ⛏

The very day #44WHC decided to ignore threats to #LakeOhrid due to authorities' claims of action, public toilets' disharge dumped less than 100m from the lake, in the vicinity of #StNaum Springs supposedly strictly proteced zone. @UNESCO @mechtildrossler @IUCN @ICOMOS @WH_Watch

We applaud 👏 the decision by @UNESCO @WH_Watch and work of @SOSOrinoco to inspect #Canaima National Park. The Park (same size of Belgium) is being destroyed by wild mining sponsored by the criminal Venezuelan Regime to extract #BloodGold @EmbOrinoco @greenpeace_esp @intlrivers

Politicization & lack of accountability of World Heritage Committee is putting the outstanding universal value of sites at risk, with climate change the single greatest threat, reports @WWF’s @lopetille at @WH_Watch’s 7th Intl NGO Forum on WH. #ClimateHeritage #43Com #43WHC – at Azerbaijan

Lots of interesting articles in this report - the ones on Dyarbakir’s Sur District and Lamu are particularly compelling from my perspective.
