Twyfelfontein or /Ui-//aes
Twyfelfontein is home to one of the largest concentrations of rock art in Africa. Most of the well-preserved rock art depicts rhinos, ostriches and giraffes. The site also includes six paintings of human and animal footprints, and rock shelters with figures carved in red ochre. Objects from two areas date back to the Late Stone Age. The site documents the ritual practices of hunter-gatherer communities in this part of southern Africa over a period of at least 2,000 years, with extensive and high-quality documentation, and eloquently illustrates the connection between ritual and economic practices of hunter-gatherers.
Te Wahipounamu – South West New Zealand
The landscape of this park in southwestern New Zealand is a result of successive glaciations that have shaped fjords, rocky coasts, towering cliffs, lakes and waterfalls. Two-thirds of the park is covered in southern beech and podocarp trees, some of which are more than 800 years old. The world's only alpine parrot, the kea, lives in the park, as well as the rare and endangered taka, a large flightless bird.
Central Sikhote-Alin
The Sikhote-Alin Mountains contain one of the richest and most unusual temperate forests in the world. In this mixed zone of taiga and subtropical, southern species such as tigers and Himalayan bears coexist with northern species such as brown bears and lynx. After expansion in 2018, the property includes the Bikin River Valley, about 100 km north of the existing site. It includes the South Okhotsk dark taiga and East Asian coniferous broadleaf forests. The fauna includes taiga species and South Manchurian species. These include notable mammals such as the Amur tiger, Siberian musk deer, wolverine and sable.
