摘要
UNESCO’s World Heritage List was created in 1972, and so far includes 830 approved areas of the world, among which 162 are nature reserves, and the rest either cultural or mixed regions. Each country can submit two nominations each year, one of which has to be a nature site. If successful, the south China karst region will be the fifth natural heritage site of China to receive world heritage status, following southwest Sichuan’s Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve, Huanglong Nature Reserve, Wulingyuan Scenic Area in Hunan Province, and the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan.
