Extension of Sukur Cultural Landscape in Nigeria to incorporate the 16 DGB sites on the Wandala Cultural Landscape in Cameroon as a serial transboundary World Heritage site

A proposed expansion of the Sukur Cultural Landscape in Nigeria to include 16 DGB sites from Cameroon's Wandala Cultural Landscape aims to establish a serial transboundary World Heritage site. This initiative, agreed upon by African World Heritage experts in 2016, seeks to foster international cooperation and bilateral relations between Nigeria and Cameroon, addressing historical disputes such as the Bakasi Peninsula conflict. The proposal highlights the potential for peace and development through cultural heritage collaboration, with a focus on Korup Hill (Cameroon) and Oban Hill (Nigeria). The research emphasizes the importance of transboundary site management in promoting regional stability and shared cultural preservation.
