The Banaue Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras was named as a world heritage site by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre in 1995. It has passed by UNESCO’s standards due to the blending of the physical, socio-cultural, economic, religious, and political environment as a living cultural landscape. It has passed UNESCO's 3 criteria and this is composed of two criterions. The first is Criterion (iv) - The rice terraces are a memorial to the history and labor of unrecorded generations which may span several thousand generations. The second one is Criterion (v) - The rice terraces are a good example of land use as a result of the interaction between the community and the environment. The Banaue Rice Terraces have also been in-scripted to the List of World Heritage in Danger on 2001 as the dangers of deforestation and climate change threatens to destroy the terraces. Another contributing factor is globalization where the younger generations of the Ifugaos have recently had the opportunity to gain access to media and education, most of the younger Ifugaos have opted to come to the capital for work instead of the traditional farming tradition.
