    World Heritage Centre - World Heritage – Pacific 2009 Programme

    "Despite its extraordinary cultural and biological diversity and richness, the Pacific is the most under-represented sub-region on the World Heritage List.

    To redress this imbalance, World Heritage Global Strategy meetings were held in the Pacific - in Fiji in July 1997 and in Vanuatu in August 1999. As a result, many Pacific Island countries joined the World Heritage Convention.

    However, the results of the first cycle of periodic reporting for the Asia-Pacific region in 2003 indicated that there was still an imbalance, with only one property in the Pacific Sub-Region on the World Heritage List (East Rennell in the Solomon Islands*)."

    I discovered this week that early next year marks my 50 year membership to NZAA....
    I am curious to find out who else may share this. I would think Michael Trotter is one....

    I am researching and planning field work for a paper to submit to AINZ to mark my jubilee.
