Phoenix Islands by Luis Filipe Gaspar

Kiribati accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on May 12, 2000, and to date has a single inscription— the Phoenix Islands Protected Area, representing pristine marine and coral ecosystems, including seamounts and deep‑sea habitats. Common themes in Kiribati’s World Heritage narrative emphasize conservation of vast ocean wilderness, biodiversity preservation, and the ecological integrity of coral atolls.
