Uh oh - 2 TWHS have been removed...

2x Romania:
Codrul secular Slatiora
Le Monastère de Neamt

Kalasha Valley Cultural Landscape 09/03/2026

Ritigala is already on the list as ancient monastery. Or is this something else?

This is the nature reserve that is right next to it, a purely natural proposal. I believe it is also the place that has the heavy military presence.

I have been to this one, may have a little story to tell sufficient for a review

Romania bringing back 2 old favourites...

Vanatori Neamt Monastic Landscape 15/04/2026
Coliboaia Cave 15/04/2026
Extension to the existing World Heritage Property "Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe" 15/04/2026

This is actually an interesting new proposal, a site only discovered in 2009 and sparking a lot of scientific debate about how old they could be and how their importance must be seen in relation to similar, better-known rock art sites in France/Spain.

Oof. This'll be tough for those following the suggestions in the 'How to visit a Fauna WHS' blog post!

You don't have a submarine? :)

Some sites on this new indicative list are in fact sub-properties of the previous list.

They've left the older 3 related entries still on the List, but they may be gone in a few days.

Le Paysage Culturel des Plantations de Dzialandzé – Sima – Moya (Anjouan) at first sight looks like a successor to Paysage Culturel des Plantations à Parfums des Iles de la Lune , but the focus sites seem different (Dzialandzé–Sima–Moya versus Bambao)

Ecosystèmes Marins de l'Archipel des Comores has been split into 2 new TWHS: Parc marin des Coelacanthes and Parc marin de Mohéli, and leaves 1 location (Mangroves et lagon de Bimbini) behind)

Ecosystèmes terrestres et paysage culturel de l'Archipel des Comores we see partly returning as Parc National du Karthala
