Canada

3.15
Canada ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 23 July 1976 and features a balanced mix of natural, cultural, and mixed sites. Its inscriptions frequently highlight themes such as Indigenous heritage, early colonial settlements, geological phenomena (notably fossil reserves and glacial landscapes), and extensive national parks. Among its recognized properties are archaeological remains of Norse exploration, boreal forest cultural landscapes, and mountain ecosystems rich in geological and biological diversity.
