First World Heritage property
Boma–Badingilo Migratory Landscape was inscribed in 2026 as South Sudan’s first World Heritage property.
A living migration
White-eared kob, tiang and Mongalla gazelle move through an inhabited landscape, not an empty reserve.
Sudd tentative site
The Sudd remains on the Tentative List and is both ecosystem and homeland.
Deim Zubeir
The slave-route site is on the Tentative List and demands careful, non-sensational interpretation.
Oral heritage
Songs, performance and community memory need consent and contextual documentation.
Stewardship
UNESCO status never overrides official travel warnings or community authority.
