The Practice of Protecting World Natural Heritage Sites in Africa

African nations face significant challenges in protecting UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including insufficient funding and limited human resources for effective management. The study highlights the legal obligations of the World Heritage Committee and examines its approaches to projects like hydroelectric power plants that impact ecosystems, such as Lake Turkana. It identifies a critical need for an international regulatory framework to balance development with environmental preservation. This research offers valuable insights applicable to other regions, including Russia's Lake Baikal, by analyzing African experiences and proposing new strategies for environmental policy.
