This is not a separate work: it is UNESCO's own World Heritage List inscription for the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, one entry in the same continuously maintained official register this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that register rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general World Heritage List record, or alongside another of its entries, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the register's own limit: an official designation record produced by the World Heritage Committee for the purpose of recognition and protection, not a scholarly history of the site or the traditions associated with it. Use it for this site's World Heritage status, inscription year and the criteria under which it was listed; a claim about its deeper history needs a dedicated historical or archaeological source.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
This is UNESCO's own World Heritage List inscription record for the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, the middle tier reflecting an official designation record rather than scholarly ethnography, notwithstanding its direct institutional authority for the site's inscription status and criteria. NotesUNESCO's own World Heritage List inscription for the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove (2005); the official heritage designation, not a scholarly study of the site or its Yoruba tradition.

Derived From
This record's own Title names the UNESCO World Heritage List as the register it is entered under, and its Author names the World Heritage Centre, the World Heritage Committee, or UNESCO itself rather than an individual scholar; one entry inside that same continuously maintained official register, not a witness independent of it.
