During the 37th session, which will last until June 27, 5 Natural Objects of Europe, Asia have been added to the list, South America and Africa.

Natural objects:

Tajik National Park "Mountains Pamirs" (Tajikistan)

"Mountains of the Pamirs" - the first natural object Tajikistan in the World Heritage List. The total area of \u200b\u200bthe park is more than 2.5 million hectares. It is located in the east of Tajikistan, in the center of the so-called Pamir mountain assembly, from which the highest mountain ranges of Eurasia disagree. In the eastern part of the object there are high-altitude plateau, and in Western - pointed peaks, the height of some of them exceeds 7 thousand meters. There are 170 rivers, more than 400 lakes and, at least 1,085 glaciers, including the glacier's most extended outside the polar regions mountain valley. The park also serves as a habitat for rare in Tajikistan and under threat to the disappearance of species of birds and mammals.

For example, the Mountain Baran Marco Polo (Ovis Ammon Polii), Snow Leopard Irbis and the Siberian Mountain Goat dwell. Since strong earthquakes are often frequent in this area, the park territory is incomplete and practically does not have the influence of agriculture and permanent settlements. The park provides unique opportunities for launching and tectonics of terrestrial plates.

El Pinakate Biosphere Reserve and Grand Desiizo de Altar (Mexico)

The object with a total area of \u200b\u200b714,566 hectares consists of two separate parts. In the East there are rocky desert and frozen volcanic plateau, formed by black and red lava flows, in the west - the desert Gran Desireto de Altar with constantly changing the shape of a variety of dunes, some of which reaches 200 m in height. The dunes of various shapes - linear, star and dome-shaped - coexist with dry granite arrays of up to 650 m, which, as if the island is towering against the background of the sandy sea, amplifying amazing contrasts This area. The arrays are encountered by their diversity of plants and animals, there are some endemic species such as AntilocaPra Americana Sonoriensis Vilorogue, living only in the north of Sonor's desert and in the south-west Arizona, USA.

Another distinctive feature of the object, emphasizing its exceptional beauty, are 10 huge deep craters of almost perfectly round shapes formed, presumably, as a result of eruptions and collaps. The unique combination of the characteristics of the object determines not only its beauty, but also represents a great scientific interest.

Etna volcano (Italy)

An area of \u200b\u200b19,237 hectares includes a uninhabited area located in the highest part of the Mountain of Etna on the east coast of Sicily. Etna is the highest island mountain in the Mediterranean Sea and the most active stratovalkan in the world. It has been established that the history of the eruptions of this volcano has 500 thousand years, and for documentary evidence volcanic activity Etna are at least over the past 2,700 years. Practically continuous volcanic activities Etna continues to influence the development of volcanology, geophysics and other earth sciences. The volcano determines the basis of the existence of important land ecosystems and some endemic species of plants and animals.

Activity activity has turned it into a natural laboratory to study environmental and biological processes. Thanks to a variety of diverse and available for observation of volcanic features, such as vertex crater, ash cones, lava cover and caldera, known as the "Buffal Valley" (Valle de Bove), the object has become an important place for research and educational events.

Desert Namib (Namibia)

The object, which is the only coastal desert in the world, includes the territory of more than 3 million hectares and a buffer zone of 899,500 hectares. Here are extensive dune fields, formed under the influence of fogs, and two dunes are distinguished: younger movable dunes are located on top of old, semi-closed sands. The peculiarity of the object is that its dunes are formed by the sands brought by rivers, ocean flows and wind from distant areas from the coast of districts that are thousands of kilometers.

The facility also has coastal lowlands and pebble fields, rocky hills towering over sands, coastal lagows, drying rivers and other types of landscape, together creating an exceptionally beautiful sight. The main source of water in the Namib desert is the fog, due to which a completely unique medium has been formed here, in which endemic types of invertebrates, reptiles and mammals are inhabited, capable of adapting to constant changes in microclimate and ecological niches.
