1559 CN - Fanjingshan (2018)

Description
"Located within the Wuling mountain range in Guizhou Province (south-west China), Fanjingshan ranges in altitude between 500 metres and 2,570 metres above sea level, favouring highly diverse types of vegetation and relief. It is an island of metamorphic rock in a sea of karst, home to many plant and animal species that originated in the Tertiary period, between 65 million and 2 million years ago. The property’s isolation has led to a high degree of biodiversity with endemic species, such as the Fanjingshan Fir (Abies fanjingshanensis) and the Guizhou Snub-nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi), and endangered species, such as the Chinese Giant Salamander (Andrias davidianus), the Forest Musk Deer (Moschus berezovskii) and Reeve’s Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii). Fanjingshan has the largest and most contiguous primeval beech forest in the subtropical region."

梵净山
梵净山位于武陵山脉的贵州省境内部分,海拔高度介于500-2570米之间,有着极度丰富的植被和地貌。这处遗产地就像是喀斯特海洋中的一个变质岩岛屿,从第三纪(6500-200万年前)开始起源于这里的诸多动植物以这里为家园。其隔离特性带来了高度的生物多样性,包括特有物种梵净山冷杉和贵州仰鼻猴,以及濒危物种如中国大鲵、林麝和白冠长尾雉。梵净山拥有亚热带地区最大、最接近原始状态的山毛榉林。
