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.
