In July the Murujuga Cultural Area in Western Australia, which has rock art older than Stonehenge and the pyramids of Giza, was granted World Heritage status by UNESCO. The area, in the Pilbara region, contains 1 million petroglyphs, some dating back 50,000 years, and includes the world’s oldest depiction of a human face. The UNESCO committee raised concerns with the Australian Government about the impact of the massive emissions from Woodside Energy’s nearby North West Shelf gas project. In September the government announced a 40-year renewal of Woodside’s contract.
