766 RU - Central Sikhote-Alin (2001)

Brief Description

"The Sikhote-Alin mountain range contains one the richest and most unusual temperate forests of the world. In this mixed zone between taiga and subtropics, southern species such as the tiger and Himalayan bear cohabit with northern species such as the brown bear and lynx. The site stretches from the peaks of Sikhote-Alin to the Sea of Japan and is important for the survival of many endangered species such as the Amur tiger."

中斯霍特特阿兰山脉

"中斯霍特特阿兰山脉有世界上土地最肥沃气温尤其宜人的森林。在这样一个针叶树林地带与亚热带混合的地区,老虎、喜马拉雅熊等南方物种与棕熊、山猫等北方物种得以共同栖息。该遗址由锡霍特-阿林高峰延伸至日本海(东海),对于阿穆尔虎等濒危生物的存活至关重要。"
