Notes:
* As of May 2011, Manas Wildlife Sanctuary is
listed as being in danger (since 1992). Hampi was added to the danger list in
1999, but removed in 2006 following successful conservation efforts.
** KNP is the first “mixed heritage” site from
India to make it to the list. A mixed site exhibits qualities of both natural
and cultural significance.
[In 2016, for the first time that any country got three sites
inscribed in the World Heritage List at a single session of the
committee meeting; held at 40th session of World Heritage Committee at
Istanbul, Turkey]
