New findings reveal the global value of UNESCO-designated sites, and what we risk losing if they are not prioritised.

The report, “People and nature in UNESCO-designated sites: Global and local contributions”, is a call to scale ambition. It highlights how these sites act as strategic assets in tackling climate change and biodiversity loss, while sustaining ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods around the world.

The message is clear: investing in their protection today means safeguarding our future.

Rooted in tradition and shaped by time, the Phenglawng is a cherished musical instrument of the Mizo community.

Originally designed with just three holes, it produced simple notes that echoed through folk songs and everyday life. Over the years, its structure evolved, with more holes added to expand its range, allowing musicians to create richer and more intricate melodies.

More than just an instrument, the Phenglawng represents the harmony between tradition and innovation, preserving cultural identity while adapting to new expressions of sound.
