1657 FR - Volcanoes and Forests of Mount Pelée and the Pitons of Northern Martinique (2023)

The global significance of Mount Pelée and Pitons du Carbet is based on its representation of volcanic processes and forest types. The 1902 eruption is considered the deadliest volcanic event of the 20th century, and a worldwide reference for the history of volcanology. All the forest types and the diversity of endemic plants of the Lesser Antilles are represented in the serial property, within forest continuums ranging from the seashore to the volcanic summits. The property is home to globally threatened species such as the Martinique Volcano Frog (Allobates chalcopis) and the Martinique Oriole (Icterus bonana), two strict endemics. 

培雷山和马提尼克北部山峰的火山和森林

培雷火山和卡尔贝山脉因其火山地貌、喷发物和形成过程而具有全球意义。1902-1905年的火山喷发被视为火山学史上的重要事件，对圣皮埃尔市造成严重影响，酿成众多人丧生的悲剧，有关记忆也成为马提尼克文化的一部分。这一系列遗产是多个全球受威胁物种的家园，例如马提尼克火山蛙（Allobates chalcopis）、拉塞佩德地蛇（Erythrolamprus cursor）和当地特有的马提拟鹂（Icterus bonana）。
