Abstract
    World Heritage: A unique contribution to biodiversity conservation provides a global overview of the status and trends of species in UNESCO World Heritage sites, as well as key information to facilitate dialogue between policymakers and World Heritage actors in the development of effective actions aimed at safeguarding these unique places for future generations. Despite covering less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, UNESCO World Heritage sites harbor more than 1/5 of mapped global species richness and are estimated to protect over 20,000 threatened species. However, biodiversity in these sites is threatened by human pressures and climate change. Every 1°C increase in temperature could double the number of species exposed to dangerous climate conditions.
