DescriptionThe Tipasa UNESCO World Site Heritage is threatened by climate change (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 8 February 2022, shows the city of Tipasa in Algeria. Tipasa, located on the Mediterranean coast, is a city with a millennial history and important cultural significance. The ruins of the ancient city, part of a colony of the ancient Roman Mauretania Caesariensis province have been declared a World Site Heritage by UNESCO and are being threatened by climate change. An article recently published in Nature indicates that as much as 56 UNESCO Heritage Sites in the African continent (20% of the total number) are at high risk due to coastal erosion and coastal flooding, which are expected to intensify by 2100. Amongst these sites, Tipasa is one of the ones at greater risk. |
