Abstract
UNESCO was founded in 1946 as a UN specialized organization for the protection of the world's natural and cultural heritage. The UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites has 1,112 sites, of which 860 are cultural, 213 are natural, 39 are combined and they are located on the territories in 167 states. The Republic of North Macedonia has been a member of UNESCO since June 28, 1993, and the city of Ohrid, with its natural and cultural heritage, has been under the protection of this organization since 1979, i.e. 1980. Due to the huge and uncontrolled expansion of tourism and unplanned urban development in the Ohrid region, the natural and cultural heritage of this protected area is in great danger. In addition to the World Heritage List, in the framework of its activities, UNESCO also keeps a List of World Heritage in Danger. The basic research question we will answer in this paper is how endangered the natural heritage of the Ohrid region is, what the reasons for it are, or how much UNESCO is committed to the protection of the World Natural Heritage in this region? We will answer this question by applying the case study method for the Ohrid region, from 1979 and 1980 to the 43rd session of the UNESCO Committee for the Protection of Natural and Cultural Heritage in Baku, Azerbaijan, held from 30.06.- 10.07. 2019.
