Mount Mulanje Cultural Landscape in southern Malawi has been officially added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, marking a significant milestone for one of Africa’s underrepresented sites.
The site's recognition not only honours the mountain’s rich cultural and ecological significance but is also anticipated to enhance eco-tourism and promote sustainable development in the region.
Chief Gibson of the Longwe Tribe said that she believed the listing would support local workers.
"We'll get more visitors as people will hear more about Mount Mulanje," she said. "And that will change people's lives here, because it will create more jobs."
