Burkina Faso ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 2 April 1987, and its inscriptions include both cultural and natural sites.
Cultural listings feature the ruins of Loropéni, medieval fortified settlements tied to the trans-Saharan gold trade, and the Ancient Ferrous Metallurgy Sites, representing early iron production and community traditions. Its natural entry, the W-Arly-Pendjari Complex (shared with Benin and Niger), protects savannah ecosystems and diverse wildlife.
