This table composed first from
Table view version, sorted by region of the WHS list. By Sept 2009, that list has been updated to show WHS current total of 890, since article started. Updated here for additions and one subtraction, and transboundary duplications noted. Cross-checked in totals, now matches 442 unique items in WHS current table list.

This work in progress has been slow. Was announced at

List of UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Europe and North America is suggested title, seems most consistent with UNESCO webpages. This includes most of Europe, the United States, Israel, more.
A checkoff list from before (not sure all need to be done):
Search for and bluelink to articles that already have the WHS infobox
Add at least a few coordinates for each country
Convert country abbreviations to full names
Remove UNESCO area column (ie EUR)
Convert type from letter to word - C=Cultural N=Natural M=Mixed
Number
Descriptions?
Former discrepancies to check:
count was thought to need to be 441, from stats source at WHS site. Source there says 440 but as noted in footnote excludes Uvs Basin natural one which needs to be included, making 441. However, the main source list of 890, in table view, includes 442 unique EUR items. Apparently the stats source tally is wrong.
This is a list of
UNESCOWorld Heritage Sites in UNESCO's Europe and North America administrative zone. The area covered includes all of the continent of Europe, Canada and the United States, and portions of other areas. The zone is defined in a partition of the world into five reporting regions: Europe and North America, Arab States, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asian-Pacific, and Africa. As such, it includes some sites actually located outside of the
continent of Europe and of the
continent of North America, and it omits some sites which are physically located in the two continents. (which of the latter type? Mexico at least)
There are 442 sites in the Europe and North America zone, of which 375 are cultural, 57 are natural, and 9 are mixed. This comprises 49% of the worldwide total of 892.[1][2] Sixteen of these are "transnational" ("transboundary"?) sites, extending into more than one country.
The sites are distributed over 49 countries overall. Italy has the most WHS sites of any nation, with 41(?).
The Europe list includes many (all?) of the earliest designated WHS sites.
This list, covering 442 sites, is almost half of all 890 World Heritage Sites world-wide. "The World Heritage List includes 890 properties forming part of the cultural and natural heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding universal value."[3]
Included are a total of 442 sites. Of these, there are:
___ in Europe proper
___ in Asia, all of Russia, including its vast presence in Asia
___ in North America, __ sites in Canada and the United States
___ in the Middle East, __ sites in Israel
___ in other overseas associated places, such as the Netherlands Antilles in the Carribbean
___ includes Azores one, but not Cape Verde one further south
Notable not included are :
Mexico, which is included instead in Latin American and the Caribbean list
the WHS listings in Kazakhstan and some other countries which are partly in Europe, but WHS listings are in their Asia portions...
What about Turkey, Cyprus, other?

This is a specific list of the UNESCOWorld Heritage Sites in
Europe.
Cyprus,
Israel,
Turkey,
Georgia,
Azerbaijan,
Armenia and the
Caucasian and
Siberian parts of
Russia are included both in this list and in the list of sites in
Asia. Overseas sites of
France, the
Netherlands,
UK and
Denmark are included here, but are also repeated in the geographically relevant lists.
Kazakhstan, despite having a small portion lying in Europe is to be found under
Asia, where both its world heritage sites are listed.
Israeli sites are listed here, since the alternative "Arab States" grouping is politically unacceptable.
As of 2009[update], 890 sites are listed on the World Heritage Sites worldwid: 689 cultural, 176 natural, and 25 mixed properties, in 148 states.[4][5]Italy is home to the greatest number of World Heritage Sites to date with 44 sites inscribed on the list.
Each World Heritage Site is the property of the state on whose territory the site is located, but it is considered in the interest of the international community to preserve each site.
Russia and the
Caucasus states are classified as European, while
Mexico is classified as belonging to the Latin America & Caribbean zone. The UNESCO geographic zones also give greater emphasis on administrative, rather than geographic associations.citation needed Hence,
Gough Island, located in the
South Atlantic, is part of the Europe & North America region because the government of the
United Kingdom nominated the site.
Waddenzee (2009) — coastal tidal region in the
Netherlands,
Germany and
Denmark, though only parts of the sea in the Netherlands and Germany are on the list.
^"Stats". UNESCO. Note: Total of 890 and subtotal of 440 do not match, due to discrepancies. 440 omits Uvs Nuur Basin in EUR region which is also shared with APA. Otherwise discrepancies not identified.
