Résumé

Over the last fifty years, earthen architecture has been increasingly taken into consideration by heritage professionals (Joffroy, Guillaud 2016), resulting in numerous nominations and new inscriptions on the World Heritage List, some of which are even among the best known on this prestigious list (Fig. 1). Efforts to prepare a formal inventory of earth-built properties within this list are rather recent, with a first attempt in 2007 resulting in the identification of 106 properties. The outcome of this first attempt was considered unsatisfactory by several experts, so that further work was launched in the framework of the first WHEAP programme in 2010. With more precise criteria for identification / selection, this new exercise led to the development of a new list, published in 2012 , which included 150 properties, representing at the time 20% of the total WH List. An update was carried out in 2015, then in 2019, and a final update after the 44th meeting of the World Heritage committee in Fuzhou (China) in July 2021. This latest list now includes 203 properties, being 17.6% of the total World Heritage list. However, in the meantime, and for various reasons, several of these properties have been inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger. Thus, earthen heritage properties now represent 34 % of the properties of the List of World Heritage in Danger, including 51% of cultural properties in Danger (18 out of 35): a preoccupying situation.
