Gambia
Gambia ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 1 July 1987, and its inscribed sites are exclusively cultural. The recognized properties include Kunta Kinteh Island and the Stone Circles of Senegambia, reflecting themes of Afro‑European encounter, early trade networks, trans‑Atlantic slavery, and complex funerary landscapes. These nominations highlight centuries‑long human interactions along the Gambia River.
