Boma-Badingilo Migratory Landscape is South Sudan’s first Unesco site, protecting a vast savanna that hosts one of Earth's largest land mammal migrations.
Every year, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) adds landmark destinations to its World Heritage List.
This seal of approval highlights places of outstanding universal value, from ancient historical monuments to rare, untouched ecosystems.
At the recent World Heritage Committee meeting in Busan, South Korea, which concludes on July 29, several extraordinary places officially earned their spot on the list.
In total, 25 new properties, comprising 19 cultural sites, five natural sites and one mixed property, were added to the World Heritage List by consensus, bringing the worldwide total to 1 273 protected locations across 173 countries.
