Changes of the International and Domestic Conservation of the Rice Terraces

The conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras' has evolved through three distinct phases, each marked by shifts in international and domestic policies and increased local community involvement. The first phase (1966-1993) predated its inscription on the World Heritage List, while the second (1994-2000) focused on post-inscription efforts. The third phase (2001-present) followed its listing as a World Heritage in Danger site. This study identifies these phases as critical to understanding sustainable rural community development and heritage conservation, highlighting the role of local governments and communities in shaping conservation strategies.
