Ken Warden asks: The Okefenokee Refuge has gotten a UN-recognized status. Can you give us an update and advise on steps we can take to stay aware and provide a check on actions we may need.
At the recent UNESCO convention, the Okefenokee Refuge was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. There is absolutely nothing you need to do or be aware of. It was added to a list. That’s it.
It is basically like being elected to the Hall of Fame for parks and heritage sites. There is nothing that changes. It has the same management as before, except they might now put up a plaque.
I’ve been to over 400 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. They are all operated and managed differently depending on their location.
