	Nominating the Wolf Cave on the World Heritage list of Unesco The Wolf Cave is a unique object with the oldest traces of human life in the Nordic countries and is therefore worth the value of a World Heritage. Kristinestad has started the preparations to get the site added to the World Heritage List. The process takes many years and different criteria have to be fulfilled. The most important thing is that the protection of the ancient remain, its authenticity and surroundings is guaranteed. In the first place the municipality is going to negotiate with the landowners for an exchange and after that for selling the forest area around the Wolf Cave. When the boundaries of the ancient remain and its protection area have been appointed, the National Board of Antiquities will take measures to get the Wolf Cave added to Unesco’s World Heritage List.
