UNESCO has added 26 new sites to its annual World Heritage List,which features diverse historical,cultural,and natural landmarks.UNESCO is run by the United Nations (group of 193 nations) and designates places of “outstanding universal value to humanity” as World Heritage Sites.UNESCO provides financial and other support to the sites so they can be preserved,repaired,and protected for future generations to enjoy.
Among the sites listed for 2024 is Len óis Maranhenses National Park in Brazil.Known for its vast white sand dunes,the park covers nearly 600 square miles.During the rainy season,lagoons form in the dunes,creating a stunning landscape that draws visitors from around the globe.
Also added was Phu Phra Bat Historical Park in Thailand.The park is renowned for its unique rock formations,ancient art,and petroglyphs (rock engravings),which provide valuable insights into early human life and religion.Another addition,Via Appia Antica or the “Appian Way” in Rome,Italy,is the earliest and most significant road built by ancient Romans.The Cultural Landscape of Kenozero Lake,in Russia,includes 12th-century wooden churches and other buildings that symbolize a connection to nature.
There are now 1,223 World Heritage sites in 168 countries,including the Grand Canyon in the US,the pyramids of Egypt,and the Taj Mahal in India.When a place is added to the list,tourism and the economy in the area often get a boost.In a statement,UNESCO said the new additions will now “benefit from the highest level of heritage protection in the world.”

The world’s oceans,lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure from climate change,growing demand,urbanization,and pollution,threatening their ability to sustain life.
“Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways,the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective,” said the co-founder of a technology company.“Virtually every waterway is polluted to an extent where the ecosystem just can’t balance back anymore,” he explains.
The company is aiming to fill that information gap using fish-like robots that collect data from underwater environments.Powered by batteries,they are designed to look and swim like fish.The standard version is about 1.3 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors to measure oxygen,salinity (盐度) and pH levels.
The founder was motivated to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter learned about the ocean crisis and asked him to help protect the seas.He says it’s important that the robots can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and moving around obstacles smoothly.
The company has put its technology to use in different regions.It has operated in both fresh and saltwater,near dams,and in harbors and fish farms,checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go.The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management,sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations,and monitoring the health of corals.
Still,the company has some blocks to clear before its fish-like robots will be seen cruising (游弋) through the world’s waterways.“We need capital to commercialize,” said the CEO,“but there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier technologies in the waterways.” The founder hopes more funding will follow.He said,“Investors should absolutely wake up.”

How to Limit Your Environmental Impact While Travelling
Travelling unlocks a world of endless possibilities and adventures,allowing us to hike through breathtaking landscapes,encounter kangaroos and deer in their natural habitat,and witness the power of volcanoes.However,tourism can also be harmful to the environment.Increased plastic waste and noise pollution can damage ecosystems.__1__.
Try to travel by land instead of air.
__2__,it is typically one of the most polluting forms of transport.Taking the train or driving in some countries may be better options.For example,if you’re heading to Las Vegas from Los Angeles,driving for around four hours emits (排放) around 75% less CO2 compared to the one-hour flight (provided you have several friends with you).
Be a responsible hotel guest.
A typical hotel uses about 73,000 gallons of water per year.Laundering towels (洗熨毛巾) is an energy-and-water-consuming process.__3__.By doing so,you’ll reduce your environmental impact.
Make the most of safe tap water (自来水).
Drinking tap water may come as a shock to many travellers.__4__,avoid bottled options.Not only are they more expensive,but they have a higher level of pollution compared to treated tap water.Instead,carry a bottle and refill it wherever you can.
__5__.When visiting different destinations,we should recognize the importance of protecting the natural beauty.We mustn’t throw rubbish everywhere.And we should avoid activities that may harm wildlife.Additionally,supporting local conservation efforts,such as participating in community-led clean-up projects,can make a positive impact on the local environment.
A.Respect the local environment
B.Explore with big tour companies
C.While air travel can often be quicker
D.The airlines still have 2,100 new planes on order
E.But when you’re in countries where tap water is safe to consume
F.Thankfully,there are ways to limit our impact on the environment
G.Thus many hotels often put up signs asking you to re-use your towels
