UN envoy visits TNBBS

BANDAR LAMPUNG: A United Nations envoy, Peter Hitcock, arrived
here on Friday to explore the possibility of declaring the Bukit
Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS) in Lampung province a world
heritage site, an official said.

"He is slated to visit the park on the weekend," the head of
the park, Tamen Sitorus, said on Saturday.

He added that a colleague was initially meant to accompany
Hitcock, but health reasons had prevented him from coming.

The result ofHitcock's visit is expected to be conveyed to the
UN next June for consideration in naming the park a world
heritage site. --Antara
