Kinabalu Park
Located in Sabah, on the northern tip of the island of Borneo, Kinabalu Park is centered around Mount Kinabalu (4,095 meters), the highest peak between the Himalayas and New Guinea. The park contains a wide variety of habitats, from dense tropical lowland and montane rainforests to tropical montane forests, subalpine forests, and high-altitude scrub. Designated the Center of Plant Diversity in Southeast Asia, the park is extremely species-rich, including plants from the Himalayas, China, Australia, Malaysia, and pan-tropical plants.
Rio de Janeiro: Carioca Landscapes between the Mountain and the Sea
The site is a unique urban environment that encompasses key natural elements that shaped and inspired the city's development: from the highest points of the Tijuca National Park mountains all the way to the sea. It also includes the Botanical Gardens established in 1808, Corcovado Mountain with the famous Christ the Redeemer statue, and the hills around Guanabara Bay, including the vast designed landscape along Copacabana Bay, which has contributed to the culture of outdoor living in this beautiful city. Rio de Janeiro is also known for the artistic inspiration it has provided to musicians, landscape designers and urban planners.
Pyrénées - Mont Perdu
This spectacular mountain landscape straddles the border between France and Spain, centered on the peak of Mont Perdue, a limestone massif rising 3,352 meters above sea level. The site, with a total area of 30,639 hectares, includes two of the largest and deepest gorges in Europe on the Spanish side, and three large cirque walls on the steeper northern slopes on the French side, a classic display of these geological features. The site is also a rural landscape, reflecting an agricultural lifestyle that was once widespread in highland areas of Europe but now survives only in this part of the Pyrenees. As such, it offers a unique insight into past European societies through its landscapes of villages, farms, fields, highland pastures, and mountain roads.
