UNESCO Adds Boma-Badengali Plains to Heritage in Danger
UNESCO has listed the Boma–Padieklo Plains in South Sudan as a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is endangered, due to ongoing conflict between government forces and opposition militias, as well as threats posed by climate change. The area covers 37,500 square kilometers between the White Nile and the Ethiopian border, and experiences seasonal migrations of over a million animals, including gazelles and antelopes, reflecting the ecological significance of the natural environment. This designation comes as an urgent step to protect the site, which is the first location in South Sudan to be included on UNESCO’s list.
