Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex has been listed as a World Heritage Site, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Warawut Silpa-archa said on Monday.
The decision was made at the World Heritage Committee’s Extended 44th Session that is being hosted online from Fuzhou, China from July 16-31.
The 21 nations of the Unesco World Heritage Committee voted 12-9 to approve Kaeng Krachan.
“The Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex passed the committee’s 10 criteria on biodiversity after our three previous proposals in 2015, 2016 and 2019,” said Warawuit.
“To receive such a global recognition is a great achievement for Thai forest and wildlife that will help increase public awareness in nature conservation as well as increase revenue from ecotourism from both domestic and overseas tourists,” the minister said.

Trans-Iranian Railway Added To UNESCO s World Heritage List
RFE
UNESCO s World Heritage Committee has inscribed the Trans-Iranian Railway onto its World Heritage List.
The committee announced on July 25 that the railway, which connects the Caspian Sea in the northeast with the Persian Gulf in the southwest, has been added to the list, along with three other sites. Started in 1927 and completed in 1938, the 1,394-kilometer-long railway was designed and executed in a successful collaboration between the Iranian government and 43 construction contractors from many countries, UNESCO said in astatement announcing the railway s addition to the list.
The railway is notable for its scale and the engineering work that was required to overcome steep routes and other difficulties, UNESCO said. Its construction involved extensive mountain cutting in some areas, while the rugged terrain in others dictated the construction of 174 large bridges, 186 small bridges, and 224 tunnels.
