World Heritage Sites are extremely exceptional cultural and natural properties nominated voluntarily by signatory nations, which have been approved for inclusion in the list by the World Heritage Committee. As of June 2008 , there were 851 properties inscribed on the World Heritage List in 141 countries. These include 660 cultural sites, 166 natural sites and 25 mixed sites. It is not to be expected that World Heritage listing will ever be common. The criteria are exceptionally demanding.
