Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary

 
A UNESCO World Heritage Site that is not in danger that relates to my topic is the Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary.  This site includes Malpelo Island off the coast of Columbia and the surrounding marine environment.  It is one of the largest no fishing zones in the tropical pacific.  It provides a safe haven for endangered species and has even become well known as a reservoir for sharks.  It is also an extremely popular diving destination because of it is a no fishing zone and because of the exceptional biodiversity.  This site embodies all five principles of a unique, successful and sustainable world heritage site.
