This vast park of 1.5 million hectares has a continuous layer of vegetation, ranging from 150 to 4,200 meters above sea level. The lower tropical forest is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. About 850 bird species have been found. Rare species such as the giant otter and giant armadillo also live here. Jaguars can often be seen in the park.
Tajik National Park (Mountains of the Pamirs)
The Tajik National Park is located in the eastern part of the country, covering more than 2.5 million hectares, at the intersection of the highest mountain ranges of Eurasia, in the heart of the so-called "Pamir Knot". The park is divided into plateaus in the east and rugged peaks in the west, some of which reach more than 7,000 meters, with strong seasonal temperature changes. The park has 1,085 glaciers, including the longest valley glacier outside the polar regions, 170 rivers and more than 400 lakes. The park is rich in plant species from the Southwest and Central Asian floras and is home to rare and endangered birds and mammals from all over the country (Marco Polo argali, snow leopard and Siberian ibex, among others). The park is subject to frequent strong earthquakes, is sparsely populated and is almost unaffected by agriculture and permanent human settlement. It provides a unique opportunity to study plate tectonics and subduction phenomena.
Landscapes of Dauria
The site, located between Mongolia and the Russian Federation, is an outstanding example of the Daur Steppe ecoregion, which stretches from eastern Mongolia to Russian Siberia and northeastern China. Cyclic climate change, with distinct wet and dry periods, results in a diversity of species and ecosystems of global significance. The steppe ecosystems vary in type, such as steppes and forests, as well as lakes and wetlands, and are home to rare animals such as white-naped cranes, great bustards, relict gulls and swan geese, as well as millions of vulnerable, endangered or threatened migratory birds. It is also a key site on the transboundary migration path of the Mongolian gazelle.
Hubei Shennongjia
Located in Hubei Province in east-central China, the site consists of two parts: Shennongding/Badong to the west and Laojunshan to the east. It protects the largest remaining primary forest in central China and provides habitat for many rare animal species, such as the Chinese giant salamander, the golden snub-nosed monkey or Sichuan snub-nosed monkey, the clouded leopard, the common leopard and the Asiatic black bear. Hubei Shennongjia is one of the three major biodiversity centers in China. The site holds an important place in the history of botanical research and was the target of international plant collecting expeditions in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Hopewell Ceremonial Earth Building
The site consists of eight massive earthen structures located along a tributary of the middle Ohio River dating from 1600-2000. They are the most representative surviving representation of the indigenous tradition now known as the Hopewell culture. Their precise geometric figures and large, neatly-formed tops reflect their scale and complexity. They are aligned with the solar cycle and the more complex lunar cycle. These earthen buildings were ritual centers, and exquisite ritual objects made of rare materials obtained from afar have been unearthed.
Iguaçu National Park
Together with Argentina's Iguazú National Park, the park is home to one of the world's largest and most spectacular waterfalls, stretching some 2,700 meters. It is home to many rare and endangered plant and animal species, including giant otters and giant anteaters. The mist from the waterfalls encourages the growth of lush vegetation.
