As of 2008, there are a total of 878 World Heritage Sites located in 185 "State Parties".[1][2] Of these, 679 are cultural, 174 are natural and 25 are mixed properties.[2] Further site classification includes the classification of the State Parties among five geographic zones: Africa, Arab States (composed of Arab League members), Asia-Pacific (including Australia, New Zealand and Oceania), Europe, North America (specifically the USA and Canada; Mexico is classified in the final category), and Latin America and the Caribbean.
Note: The above maps are current as of 2007. Transboundary sites have been redistributed among the concerned countries, hence, have been counted multiple times.
