The nature of the site will be either C, N or CN representing Culture, Natural or Mixed respectively.

Former sites either withdrawn from the programme or the country withdrawn from AIN will be signified with an F/ at the front of a title, for example, a natural site from Petrova will have the title F/0001#EUN
