• Options should be explored for <strong>the</strong> more effective and integrated use <strong>of</strong> alternative protected area<br />
designations to complement <strong>World</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> site inscription.<br />
• We need to consider <strong>World</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> in <strong>the</strong> broader context and in relation to o<strong>the</strong>r global initiatives –<br />
such as MPAs in relation to WSSD targets; <strong>World</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong>’s in relation to corridor initiatives and<br />
broader landscape planning and Biosphere Reserves; and Geosites in relation to criteria (viii) sites. We<br />
need to use <strong>the</strong>se linkages to more directly benefit <strong>World</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> sites. We also need to use a range<br />
<strong>of</strong> designations in a complementary manner and in a way that can be used to take <strong>the</strong> pressure <strong>of</strong>f<br />
<strong>World</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> and <strong>the</strong> expectation that all sites can and will be <strong>World</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong>.<br />
• Make <strong>World</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> a priority for <strong>IUCN</strong> using a high pr<strong>of</strong>ile person that could become a “<strong>World</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong><br />
