If Approved, Bali Sites Will Bring to 10 the Number of World Heritage Sites in Indonesia.
![Bali News: Three Bali Sites Proposed for World Heritage Status](http://www.balidiscovery.com/images/jatiluwih.jpg)
Now in consideration to be listed as outstanding historical and natural areas worthy of special preservation efforts are:
▪ The Jatiluwih Rice Terraces of West Bali
▪ Pura Taman Ayun Temple in Mengwi
▪ The Tukad Pakerisan River in Gianyar Regency.
The three sites are under critical review from a team of international experts with a final announcement of new World Heritage Sites expected in June 2007.
Indonesia's Existing 7 World Heritage Sites
If selected, the three sites will join seven other World Heritage Sites already listed by UNESCO in Indonesia:
▪Borobudur Temple Compounds in Central Java
▪ Prambanan Temple Compounds in Central Java
▪ The Sangiran Early Man Prehistoric Site in Central Java
▪ Ujung Kulon Nation Park in West Java
▪ The Sumatra Rainforest
▪ Lorentz National Park in Papua
▪ Komodo National Park
An earlier 2004 attempt to have the three Bali sites added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List and be considered during 17-month long evaluation period ran afoul when local officials failed to correctly meet the various application requirements from UNESCO.
