Astronomy and World Heritage and Starlight Reserves move forward
9 July 2009
The IYA2009 Astronomy and World Heritage Initiative and the Starlight Reserves proposal have been presented to delegates from several countries in the framework of the 33rd Session of the World Heritage Committee held in Seville (Spain). This has been an important move towards the recognition of cultural, scientific and environmental values associated to astronomy and the right to observe the stars as a common heritage of humankind.
Big steps forward were made by both the Astronomy and World Heritage Initiative and the Starlight Reserves proposal, through the recognition of their associated values by the World Heritage Committee.
