Yeah, +7 but also -7. Nothing really new, just slight alterations to the existing.

A small remark: "Le rugo traditionnel du Mugamba" is mentioned in the Former page but yet not as the 817th site (Full List).

They started early today, maybe more will come:

Ryongmun Cavern and Songam Cave 06/02/2026
Coastal Wetlands in the West Sea of Korea of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea 06/02/2026

3 replacements and a new one: Coastal Wetlands in the West Sea of Korea of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

How on brand, they cannot even mention the already inscribed Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats, only China's Migratory Bird Sanctuaries and the Wadden Sea in Europe.

Uh oh - there is 1 removed (searching, searching...CoPilot in Excel useless... Google Gemini keeps babbling on about context - I want a site name!)

Found it! Pobé-Mengao, Arbinda et Markoye gravures (Burkina Faso) has been removed, was double after last major update and is included in L'art rupestre au Burkina Faso

Bulgaria just added this one: Frontiers of the Roman Empire – The Danube Limes 27/03/2026

Looks like a replacement of the 2020 one. 18 components, including some new ones (we had 35 for the older one).
I will update the locations.

So what happens with the 35 components not on the list any longer? POIs in the map of the tentative site? Or a seperate former tentative site?

They will be gone. Too irrelevant to be POIs. And it is not a separate FTWHS, it is just an improvement that happens during the lifecycle, a selection of components they want to get inscribed. Happens all the time.

No! I was just chilling a bit... and now I have work to do. At first glance, a couple of renominations among them.... (net +7)

Happy to see Kasanka, a must with its bat migration.

Yes, indeed a good one.

The Dag Hammarskjoeld Memorial is the only TWHS removed (plus the natural part of Kalambo Falls). The others are new or similar replacements.

Maybe the Dag Hammarskjoeld Memorial is included in
"Southern Africa Liberation Heritage Sites in Zambia: Preserving the legacy of Humanism, Solidarity and Peace"
no?

It seems so, yes, although it is not listed in the first part of the text.
