The United Kingdom's impending withdrawal from UNESCO is a cause of great distress to those of us who are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Seriously, though, what of St Helena's application? In UNESCO's words, "The island remains a treasure trove of endemic biodiversity, with over 400 known globally unique species in its 47 square miles, including tree ferns, giant tree daisies and desert-dwelling nocturnal spiders." So it was looking good.
And what of Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle? Will that Site be stripped of its UNESCO World Heritage status?
