Jordan’s Aqaba Marine Reserve added to UNESCO
The Aqaba Marine Reserve in Jordan has been officially listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, following its approval during the 48th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Busan, South Korea. This designation reflects international recognition of it being one of the most vital marine ecosystems in the northern Red Sea. The reserve is distinguished by its unique biodiversity and exceptional environmental processes, especially its coral reefs, which are well-adapted to rising temperatures and can withstand the challenges of climate change. The reserve is home to more than 150 species of corals, 500 species of fish, and around a thousand species of mollusks. It emphasizes the importance of conserving biodiversity and the marine environment to ensure sustainability for future generations.
