Petroglyphic Complexes of the Mongolian Altai
The extensive rock carvings and funerary monuments found at these three sites illustrate cultural development in Mongolia over a 12,000-year period. The earliest images reflect a period when the region was partly forested (11,000-6,000 BC), with valleys providing habitat for hunters of large game. Later images show a transition to pastoralism as the primary way of life. More recent images show a transition to a nomadic lifestyle dependent on horses in the early 1st millennium BC, the Scythian period, and the late Turkic period (7th and 8th centuries AD). These carvings make a valuable contribution to our understanding of prehistoric communities in North Asia.
The par force hunting landscape in North Zealand
The cultural landscape is located approximately 30 km northeast of Copenhagen and includes the hunting forests of Store Dyrehave and Gribskov and the Jægersborg Hegn/Jægersborg Dyrehave hunting park. It is a carefully designed landscape where the Danish kings and their courts practiced compulsory hunting or hunting with hounds, which reached its peak in the late 17th and 18th centuries when absolute monarchs turned it into a power landscape. With hunting paths laid out in a star pattern, combined with an orthogonal grid pattern, numbered stone pillars, fences and hunting lodges, the site demonstrates the application of Baroque landscape design principles to a forested area.
Mulan Paddock
The royal hunting ground of the Qing Dynasty, Mulan Paddock, is located in the northeast of Hebei Province (Weichang Manchu and Mongolian Autonomous County, Chengde City), bordering the Inner Mongolia grassland. It has been a grassland with abundant water and grass and thriving animals since ancient times. The "Thousand Miles of Pine Forest" was once the hunting ground of the Liao Emperor, and the "Mulan Paddock" was the place where the Qing Emperors held the "Mulan Autumn Hunt". In 1681, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty opened up a hunting ground of more than 10,000 square kilometers here to train the army. In the first half of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor would lead the princes, ministers, and elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to hunt here every year, which was known as the "Mulan Autumn Hunt". In the more than 140 years from Kangxi to Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, the Mulan Autumn Hunt was held here 105 times.

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump
In southwestern Alberta, the remains of marked trails and Native camps, as well as a burial mound containing a large number of bison (American bison) bones, attest to a practice followed by Native Americans of the North American Plains for nearly 6,000 years. They used their extensive knowledge of the terrain and bison behavior to chase their prey to the edge of a cliff, then kill them; the carcasses were then dismembered beneath their camp.
