elsslots:
It also may point to a wider issue that "empty" locations (WH locations we know exist but no coordinates are known) do not show at the new website. I will make an inventarization how many of these exist and then discuss how to handle them
Found some time to do a query on the old database to have a look at this. Fortunately it is not a big problem, 9 WHS are/were affected.
They can be divided into several groups:
1. Site location(s) had no location coordinates where the UNESCO (now) has them available:
Al-Ahsa Oasis (5 locations),
Hawraman/Uramanat (1 location),
Coa Valley and Siega Verde (1 location) -> I have now added them to our maps
2. Site locations where UNESCO also has no coordinates available: for
Atlantic Forest South-East (3 done, 2 still unaccounted for) and
Ancient Merv (8 done), we have recently added community-identified locations instead
3. Sites with Incorrect UNESCO number of Locations: 6
Asante Traditional Buildings nobody knows what or where they are. To be added to that list/connection have to be the 2 marine areas shown in the list on the UNESCO website for
Ogasawara. They do not show as separate locations on the map, they are likely just surrounding waters of the islands. In the nomination file, only one "marine area" is mentioned, without coordinates as well, and apparently just to show the size of the marine area versus the terrestrial area.
The remaining 2 are the dramas of:
-
Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin: all coordinates now seem to be available; I will add them when I have some time to spare (+43)
-
Frontiers of the Roman Empire: all coordinates in the German section now seem to be available; I will add them when I have some time to spare and can make a script (+163)
