Tentative List

Having worked as a translator at UNESCO for a number of years, the World Heritage Programme has a extra-special place in my heart. The nomination process is long and very involved, so special props to all the sites on the Tentative List. Hopefully, with some gumption and a bit of perseverance, they will all find their place on the World Heritage List one day!

The following Tentative List sites are in my collection. Only about 1500 or so more cards needed to complete the set! :-P
