For over two decades, CEMEX has had the privilege to work with some of the world’s most prestigious and dedicated conservation organizations to publish provocative books that illustrate the need to preserve and protect our environment. This year’s volume is presented in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Conservation International, and The WILD Foundation. Through the World Heritage Convention, UNESCO has successfully promoted international cooperation to protect the exceptional cultural and natural value of World Heritage sites for current and future generations, so that they — unlike the seven wonders of the ancient world — are conserved for all time.

“Earth’s Legacy: Natural World Heritage” captures the spectacular diversity and beauty of these outstanding places on our planet. Through evocative writing and unforgettable photography, it provides a magnificent, comprehensive overview of these sites’ aesthetic, natural, and cultural value, coupled with their remarkable geodiversity, ecological processes, and biodiversity. It further highlights the sad reality that many of these irreplaceable sites are under enormous risk and require greater protection if humanity is to preserve the world’s natural heritage for the future.

As one of the industry’s leading companies in areas of environmental protection and land conservation, CEMEX fully recognizes the need to protect the outstanding universal value of World Heritage sites. Recognizing that nothing must impinge their settings and buffer zones, CEMEX is committed to building awareness of natural World Heritage sites and helping to promote and develop a culture of appreciation and respect for nature among its stakeholders and, by extension, the global community. It is further dedicated to working with relevant international organizations, responsible local authorities, corresponding statutory bodies and regulators so that the protection of these sites is maintained and, where possible, access and amenity are improved.

CEMEX Nature Site

To further promote a culture of appreciation and respect for nature across the global community, CEMEX is launching the CEMEX Nature Site, using the dynamics of social media channels to reinforce the impact of the published books. The site will go beyond extracts from the most recent books to include information about CEMEX’s other biodiversity and environmental projects.
