Bock has decided to nominate the border for inclusion on the list, one of the lesser-known of the UN’s world heritage lists. Unlike other Unesco lists, which protect material cultural heritage such as buildings, the Intangible Cultural Heritage List has the stated goal of protecting important intangible cultural heritages worldwide. Denmark has a total of seven material Unesco cultural heritage sites. The white cliffs on the island of Møn and Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord are among the natural Unesco heritage sites listed for Denmark. Intangible cultural heritage is defined by Unesco as practices and expressions that help demonstrate the diversity of heritage and raise awareness about its importance.
