Its aim was to create a list of protected environmental sites with extreme significance, in order to prevent them from logging, mining and other environmentally damaging activities.
However, due to a loophole in the resolution that permitted nations to add parts (or even the entirety) of other nations to the list (and not adding a provision for removal), it was often used as "punishment" to another nation for a comment or vote in the UN. This was a reason cited by many nations for repealing it.
A replacement, entitled Protection of Historical Sites, passed in July 2007.
For the last binding list as it was just before being repealed, see here.
