Heritage

Common heritage of humanity

The common heritage of humanity represents all the skills and achievements of the human race which are held to be shared by all. As a principle of international law, it holds that the defined territorial areas and elements of humanity's common heritage should be held in trust for future generations and be protected from exploitation by individual nation states or corporations. Some possible examples include global communication between individuals over the internet, the geostationary orbit and over the high seas.

Natural heritage

Natural heritage refers to the sum total of the elements of biodiversity, including flora and fauna, ecosystems, and geological structures. It forms part of the natural resources of a given region.

Heritage (Opeth album)

Heritage is the tenth studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. It was released on 13 September 2011 through Roadrunner Records. The album was recorded in early 2011 at Atlantis Studios in Stockholm and produced by Mikael Åkerfeldt, engineered by Janne Hansson, and mixed by Steven Wilson. It takes on more of a progressive rock sound, something the band had wanted to do for some time, resulting in a stark contrast to the progressive death metal sounds of their past albums.
