Unesco decision on Stonehenge preservation status
Stonehenge has been spared from being added to Unesco’s “World Heritage in Danger” list after a proposed amendment struck it off the at-risk list. The decision follows controversy over a proposed redevelopment at the ancient site in Wiltshire, UK, including the construction of a new dual carriageway tunnel nearby. Unesco has requested a fresh report from the UK by 2025 to re-examine the site’s conservation. The transformation of the Stonehenge area is overseen by the UK government agency National Highways. Despite opposition, the agency denies claims of irreversible harm to the site. The latest development in the ongoing legal battle over the road project signals a potential shift in government stance.
