Summary
A decade of collaborative management has successfully preserved the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region in Poland and Ukraine,' demonstrating a model for transboundary heritage conservation. This site, comprising 16 wooden churches recognized for their religious symbolism and architectural traditions, benefits from an integrated approach that balances preservation with cultural use. The study highlights the critical role of institutions in maintaining these unique structures, emphasizing the challenges and achievements of managing multiple sites across two countries. By analyzing the nomination process and implementation of conservation tasks—including research, restoration, and sustainable utilization—the paper provides a framework for safeguarding similar transboundary heritage assets.
