Get involved
IUCN strives to mobilise its wide networks of experts and partners to support the conservation of natural World Heritage sites. You can help us in our mission in several ways, as outlined below.
Contribute to the IUCN World Heritage Outlook
The IUCN World Heritage Outlook assesses all listed natural World Heritage sites. You can help us improve it by sharing your knowledge of natural World Heritage sites.
- Provide feedback on the accuracy of Conservation Outlook Assessments, either by leaving your comments on the website or emailing us.
- Register interest in participating in the next consultation process for the IUCN World Heritage Outlook consultation process, estimated to take place in 2024. To do so, download the dedicated consultation form (available in English, French, Spanish and Russian) and email it to us.
Submit information on natural World Heritage sites
Submit information on natural World Heritage sites affected by threats
Each year, IUCN prepares State of Conservation (SoC) reports for about 60 of the most threatened natural and mixed World Heritage sites in collaboration with UNESCO and ICOMOS. You can help us by submitting information on these sites. Download the IUCN World Heritage Soc Consultation Form (see links to the right) and email it to whconservation@iucn.org.
