Botswana's Okavango Delta, one of the most iconic natural areas on the planet, has been listed as 1,000th World Heritage site today. The decision follows the recommendation of IUCN, UNESCO's advisory body on nature.
"The Okavango Delta has long been considered one of the biggest gaps on the World Heritage list and IUCN is proud to have been able to provide support to this nomination," says Julia Marton-Lefèvre, IUCN Director General. "We congratulate Botswana's authorities on their extraordinary commitment to make this historic listing a reality."
