All 1,364 country-site rows covering the 1,259 UNESCO World Heritage Sites inscribed through the July 2026 session, built from Wikipedia's ~185 per-country lists: UNESCO region, in-country location, cultural/natural/mixed type, inscription criteria as roman numerals with a numeric count, year inscribed, area in hectares (km2 and acres converted), numeric coordinates, an endangered flag with the year the current danger listing began, and a transnational flag that fans shared sites out one row per country (the Struve Geodetic Arc spans ten). Each site's own article fills what the list tables lacked; type derives honestly from criteria when unstated.
1,364 rows in one CSV file, with 17 columns in total: Site, Country, UNESCO_Region, Location, Type, Criteria, Criteria_Count, Year_Inscribed, Area_Ha, Latitude, Longitude, Endangered, Endangered_Since, Transnational, Reference, Description, Site_URL.
