UNESCO designates ancient Australian rock art site Murujuga as World Heritage, amid pollution concerns.

The ancient rock art site of Murujuga in Western Australia has been recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO, offering stronger protections under Australian law. The site features the world's largest and most diverse collection of rock art engravings, some dating back over 50,000 years. Despite this designation, concerns remain about potential harm from nearby industrial emissions. The Ngarda-Ngarli people, traditional custodians of the land, have welcomed the listing but will continue to advocate for the site's protection.
