I am done with Iran, added Lut Desert and the Sassanid sites yesterday.
In total, I managed to cover 20 of Iran's 29 WHS.

Of the remaining, 3 have no map at all: Hegmataneh, Persepolis, Tchogha Zanbil
2 have very poor maps: Maymand and the Armenian Monastic Ensembles
And I skipped 4 for now with (too) many locations: Persian Caravanserai, Persian Garden, Soltaniyeh, The Persian Qanat

Brilliant work and likewise Els for the trans Iranian one, that is much more hard work than it perhaps seems on the surface!
I guess I will get cracking on Semmering, a suitable way to celebrate my 13th anniversary of visiting!

My daily batch of 2 (which took a lot of work this time):

Discovery Coast (c) Protected Planet adjusted - the PP showed a park that was not included in the core zone, and missed 2 that were; I have changed the file for those, using the map in the nom file (the official map is a very poor copy)

Writing-on-Stone / Áísínai'pi - best effort, as the boundaries are so detailed that it takes ages to draw neatly (maybe a nice pastime for when you serve a 5-year prison sentence). One wonders why the (much easier) boundaries of the National Park were not chosen (those now delimit the buffer zone).

Yesterday I did:
Coro and its Port
Cahokia Mounds (Ian will be jealous of this one, it's like patchwork: all the roads in the area are excluded)
Taos Pueblo
L'viv - the Ensemble of the Historic Centre

The following have been added over the past 24 hours:
Masada Ian Cade
Old City of Jerusalem Ian Cade (No official map, but the AB report and subsequent monitoring reports make it clear that it comprises the old city walls and the old town inside)
Battir Ian Cade
Hebron/Al-Khalil Old Town Ian Cade
Arab-Norman Palermo Frédéric M
Ellora Caves Els Slots
Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka Els Slots
Chola Temples Els Slots
Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers (c) Protected Planet (the shape of Nanda Devi NP is slightly different than the current NP borders; I chose to go with the PP version as it fits size-wise (in ha.) (the official map is a simple freehand one)

Ian added:
White City of Tel Aviv
Incense Route of the Negev ('route' component still missing, very difficult, but working on it)
Mount Carmel Caves
Caves of Maresha and Bet Guvrin
Biblical Tells
Necropolis of Bet She'arim
Bahai Holy Places
Old City of Acre

I did:
Churches and Convents of Goa (very poor map, followed the green lines and those add up nicely to cover the area with the 7 included churches)
Elephanta Caves (also poor map, is the whole island inscribed or the caves only? consensus seems to be caves only so went with that)

Well done! We are over 900 core zones now! They cover about 870 WHS (we split the transnational ones per country).
