via The Star, 26 May 2022: The nomination dossier for the Niah National Park is aimed for early next year.
Sarawak’s Niah National Park is in the process of being nominated as a Unesco World Heritage Site, with a final report expected to be submitted next year.
State Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said a draft dossier compiled by the relevant stakeholders would be submitted to the United Nations body by September.
“The final dossier will be submitted by February 2023, which will be followed by evaluation by advisory bodies for the final decision by the Unesco World Heritage Committee in July, before Niah National Park can be inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List,” he told the Sarawak legislative assembly in his winding-up speech here yesterday.
