South Korea Now With 15 World Heritage Sites, Tidal Flats Added

South Korea’s tidal flats are officially added to UNESCO’s list of world heritage sites.

The decision was made Monday evening at the 44th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Fuzhou, China.

Also known as Getbol in Korean, it is a vital feeding and breeding site for rare species.

South Korea now has a total of 15 world heritage sites.

Getbol is the country’s second natural site to be on the list after Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes were inscribed in 2007.
