The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. Cultural heritage consists of monuments (such as architectural works, monumental sculptures, or inscriptions), groups of buildings, and sites (including archaeological sites). Natural features (consisting of physical and biological formations), geological and physiographical formations (including habitats of threatened species of animals and plants), and natural sites which are important from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty, are defined as natural heritage. New Zealand accepted the convention on 22 November 1984, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list.
There are three World Heritage Sites in New Zealand and a further eight sites on the tentative list. The first two sites were listed in 1990 and the third one in 1998. Tongariro National Park is listed for its cultural and natural significance while the other two sites are natural. New Zealand has served on the World Heritage Committee once.




World Heritage Sites


UNESCO lists sites under ten criteria; each entry must meet at least one of the criteria. Criteria i through vi are cultural, and vii through x are natural.




Tentative list


In addition to sites inscribed on the World Heritage List, member states can maintain a list of tentative sites that they may consider for nomination. Nominations for the World Heritage List are only accepted if the site was previously listed on the tentative list. New Zealand maintains eight properties on its tentative list.
