Synopsis

Australia’s Murujuga Cultural Landscape, home to over a million ancient rock engravings dating back 50,000 years, has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While traditional custodians celebrate the recognition, serious concerns remain about pollution from Woodside’s nearby gas project. UNESCO has asked Australia to continue monitoring industrial impacts. This feature explores the site’s global significance, the decades-long campaign for its protection, and the unresolved tension between cultural heritage and resource development.
