Abstract
This chapter illustrates the main impacts of tourism on the natural and built environments generally before focusing on the environmental impacts of World Heritage status and tourism at World Heritage sites (WHSs). The threats of invasive species, poaching, dams, and climate change in natural WHSs are discussed, as well as local people's views on the changes in the natural and built environments in and around WHSs. A brief case study is presented of natural WHSs in the USA and Japan.
