Description

UNESCO World Heritage Site Project

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection, and preservation of cultural and natural heritages around the world. These places, structures, and sites make everlasting impressions upon the cultures of the globe and thus belong to all peoples of the world. One of the main ways to draw attention to these sites is through tourism. International tourism is one of the world’s largest global industries employing millions of people in thousands of communities.

Your Task

You will choose one UNESCO World Heritage site located in the United States. A complete list of choices can be found here (https://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/us . Through your project, you will demonstrate the importance of the site of your choice with regards to its value and influence of cultural, social, natural, and historical means. Likewise, you will be introduced to the idea of global tourism as you “market” the site of your choice effectively to a tourist or world traveler.

NGSSHS-ESS3-3

Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among the management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity. Examples of factors that affect the management of natural resources include costs of resource extraction and waste management, per-capita consumption, and the development of new technologies. Examples of factors that affect human sustainability include agricultural efficiency, levels of conservation, and urban planning. Assessment for computational simulations is limited to using provided multi-parameter programs or constructing simplified spreadsheet calculations.

NGSSHS-ESS3-1

Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. Examples of key natural resources include access to fresh water (such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater), regions of fertile soils such as river deltas, and high concentrations of minerals and fossil fuels. Examples of natural hazards can be from interior processes (such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes), surface processes (such as tsunamis, mass wasting and soil erosion), and severe weather (such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts). Examples of the results of changes in climate that can affect populations or drive mass migrations include changes to sea level, regional patterns of temperature and precipitation, and the types of crops and livestock that can be raised.

NGSSHS-ESS3-4

Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems. Examples of data on the impacts of human activities could include the quantities and types of pollutants released, changes to biomass and species diversity, or areal changes in land surface use (such as for urban development, agriculture and livestock, or surface mining). Examples for limiting future impacts could range from local efforts (such as reducing, reusing, and recycling resources) to large-scale geoengineering design solutions (such as altering global temperatures by making large changes to the atmosphere or ocean).
