Official press release on our new study on the biocultural value of the World Heritage sites. phys.org/news/2025-03-u…
In our new paper in Ecology and Society, we tested three LLMs to reclassify all the World Heritage Sites based on a biocultural heritage definition. We find that a biocultural reclassification could help towards a representative, balanced, and credible World Heritage List.
📣 New paper alert! 📣 In my latest research—co-authored with my dear wife, 💚—we challenge how World Heritage Sites are classified! We used LLMs to analyze official site descriptions. We show that up to 26% of these iconic sites hold unrecognized biocultural value 🌍🏛
