14. Why World Heritage Day is Celebrated
World Heritage Day is celebrated to spread
awareness of our rich cultural diversity and the
importance of preserving our ancient heritage.
The purpose of celebrating this date is to share an
important message to the younger generations to
carry forward their legacy and preserve our culture.

15. World Heritage Day
Every year, World Heritage Day is observed on
18 April.
It is an internationally recognised day to
preserve monuments and historical sites.

16. We as humans need to respect the diversity in our cultural
offerings and preserve them for future generations to
come.
Protecting these assets for many more years into the
future is impossible through a single individual or group.
Community participation and global awareness can
change things for the better and help preserve our rich and
varied culture across the world.
