Danish fish fossil cliffs set to gain UNESCO status

Two Danish coastal cliffs, Hanklit and Knudeklint, are likely to gain UNESCO World Heritage status due to their 55-million-year-old fossils of prehistoric wildlife, including fish and birds. The cliffs provide insights into climate change impacts and are already on UNESCO's tentative list. Their preservation is attributed to a low-oxygen environment, and the designation could boost local tourism.
