World Heritage: Benefits beyond borders

UNESCO World Heritage isn't a beauty contest. The moment of glory that comes with the inscription of a site is short. It can only endure through the commitment by States & especially local communities to conservation and safeguarding for the long run. Take an inside look at what is involved in safeguarding the Medina of Marrakesh (Morocco). The colorful chapter is taken from our new book "World Heritage: Benefits Beyond Borders" (http://ow.ly/f5SiM)
