The
Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park - The best of the best
 |
This park is described as "the best
of the best", when nominated to the UNESCO'S World Heritage Centre in Paris.
It has been listed as a World Heritage Site based on its universal values
to mankind both cultural and natural, and that makes it so special.
International recognition was given
to its unique richness of biological diversity, its endemic and endangered
species, its superlative natural beauty as well as its master pieces of
human creative genius in the form of 35 000 San rock art images to be found
in the site. |
This is one of the world's greatest
rock art treasures that is of outstanding cultural value. The art
represents uniquely a coherent tradition that embodies the beliefs and
cosmology of people whose cultural tradition is now extinct in the region.
The Park is the largest protected
area established on the Great Escarpment of the Southern African subcontinent.
Landscapes are outstanding and the geomorphological process by which they
were formed are believed to be of universal importance, as well as the
mountain and wetland ecosystems with their full compliment of plants and
animals with many endemic and internationally recognised threatened species.
Also including the high altitude and unique Southern African alpine-tundra
vegetation and its associated endemic palaeo-invertebrates.
