From The National center for Public Policy Research, June 2000, Publication No. 294, by John K. Carlisle, director of The National Center for Public Policy Research’s Environmental Policy Task Force: “A U.N. World Heritage Site is an internationally protected landmark of historical, cultural or natural significance that the U.S. government pledges the world body it will protect. When the U.S. signed the 1972 World Hertitage Treaty…the U.S. legally obligated itself to maintain our national treasures in accordance with standards set by the U.N., not the U.S. The U.S. has also dedicated millions of acres of American land to U.N. Biosphere Reserves. …A Biosphere Reserve is an area set aside for conservation and scientific study, which the U.S. promises to manage according to U.N. standards.”
