Mongolia is considering a number of nominations for new additions of world cultural and natural heritages during a seminar at the Mongolian University of Science and Technology. Currently, Mongolia’s Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape, Petroglyphic Complexes of the Mongolian Altai (World Cultural Heritage) and  Uvs Nuur Basin (World Natural Heritage) are registered to UNESCO World Heritage.

At this time Mongolia is considering adding 16 additional natural and cultural sites to the list. The operational guidelines of the World Heritage Committee recommend countries update their tentative lists approximately once every 10 years.

The seminar will be held separately for World Natural Heritage and World Cultural Heritage. Experts from World Natural and Cultural Heritage organizations will assist the National Committee of Mongolia for World Heritage. The tentative list of natural and cultural properties that appear to meet the eligibility criteria for nomination to the World Heritage List will be adopted and Mongolia may nominate within a given period of time.
