421 NZ - Tongariro National Park (1990)

Brief Description

"In 1993 Tongariro became the first property to be inscribed on the World Heritage List under the revised criteria describing cultural landscapes. The mountains at the heart of the park have cultural and religious significance for the Maori people and symbolize the spiritual links between this community and its environment. The park has active and extinct volcanoes, a diverse range of ecosystems and some spectacular landscapes."

汤加里罗国家公园

"1993 年,汤加里罗成为第一处根据修改后的文化景观标准被列入《世界遗产名录》的遗址。地处公园中心的群山对毛利人具有文化和宗教意义,象征着毛利人社会与外界环境的精神联系。公园里有活火山、 死活山和不同层次的生态系统以及非常美丽的风景。"
