Introduction of W National Park of Niger
The Niger part of ‘W’ National Park is located in a region, which shows transformation between Savannah and forest areas. This park has become an icon for the meaningful analysis of the environmental patterns in the West African Woodlands and Savannah. This area entails the complete story about the relation of humans with natural resources, starting from the era of the Stone Age up to the modern changes in the area. This park reflects the preservation strategy for the cultural heritage.
Cultural heritage has always been the source of inspiration for every upcoming generation. This park also describes the exclusive relationship between the animals and the plants. In this park, life comes into the view in different images, such as plants, humans, animals, etc.
Purpose of UNESCO
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is the main campaign hub for the motivation of cultural preservation and environmental protection, announcing this environment as the best fit for human health. This idea was officially undertaken by UNESCO in 1972 when an international agreement was made in the convention for the protection of global culture and heritage. This organization mainly urges to enhance the preservation and protection of the global culture and heritage.
UNESCO also campaigns for the promotional schemes of the World Heritage List by urging states for the indication of different sites as its package. It also facilitates the World Heritage sites by defending these sites against the threatening environment. It also has compiled the plans for the conservation of World Heritage by instigating activities among the states. It also functions to integrate human beings with their natural heritage and prepares them to deal with the dangers of a safe environment on the individual levels. UNESCO also produces strong relationships among different states by making them busy in various preservation works in the venture forms.
UNESCO Activities
UNESCO has conducted many programs to save and preserve the culture and heritage in different states. This promotion of cultural preservation started after the end of the Second World War. The 1972 convention focused mainly on maintenance of the natural beauty. In the year of 1959, UNESCO initiated an international movement for the protection of the environment on the urge of the Egyptian and Sudan governments.
After the successful completion of this UNESCO project, many of the other campaigns got acceleration for the execution. Such types of activities triggered the process of preservation and conservation of culture and heritage. This organization’s cultural programs include conservation of cultural sites, world heritage thematic program, archaeological conservation, preservation of forests, and conservation of other natural categories.
Benefits of W National Park
The development of this Niger Park was also an array of the UNESCO campaigns for the preservation of culture and heritage. This park has also been proved as an attraction for the whole world towards the cultural heritage programs. This park has also given the community an approach to protecting the environment. In this park, the diversity of nature has been guarded by manifesting cultural preservation. Cultural diversity is at its full bloom in the modern world.
The development of this park points towards the common human heritage and also presents the ideas to deal with cultural diversity. Such types of models also integrate the different cultures into a single global culture and reject the distances among different civilizations by eradicating gaps between the various communities. Hence, it is quite evident that such types of global parks should be developed so as to enhance global interaction and preserve cultural heritage.
