This is one of the most interesting volcanic regions in the world, where a large number of active volcanoes are concentrated, as well as many other natural phenomena associated with volcanic activity. The heritage site consists of six distinct sites. Active volcanoes combined with glaciers form an exceptionally picturesque and constantly evolving landscape.

The area of ​​the object is approximately 300 thousand hectares, it is located in the west of the Greater Caucasus, 50 km northeast of the Black Sea coast. Only wild animals graze in the local alpine and subalpine meadows, and the vast untouched mountain forests, stretching from the lowland to the subalpine zone, are also unique in Europe. The area is characterized by a wide variety of ecosystems, highly endemic flora and fauna, and is an area where the mountain subspecies of the European bison once lived, and was later re-acclimatized.

Historical and architectural complex "Kazan Kremlin"

Having emerged on the territory inhabited since very ancient times, the Kazan Kremlin traces its history back to the Muslim period in the history of the Golden Horde and the Kazan Khanate. It was conquered in 1552 by Ivan the Terrible and became a stronghold of Orthodoxy in the Volga region.

The spit was also exposed to natural forces - wind and sea waves. The preservation of this unique cultural landscape to this day has become possible only thanks to the ongoing struggle of man against the processes of erosion (fixation of dunes, forest plantations).

Sikhote-Alin

Far Eastern coniferous-broad-leaved forests grow in the Sikhote-Alin mountains, which are recognized as one of the richest and most original in terms of species composition among all forests in the temperate zone of the Earth. In this transitional zone, located at the junction of taiga and subtropics, there is an unusual mixture of southern (tiger, Himalayan bear) and northern animal species (brown bear, lynx). The area stretches from the highest peaks of the Sikhote-Alin to the coast of the Sea of ​​Japan, and is home to many endangered species, including the Amur tiger.

Ubsunur hollow

The heritage site is located within the northernmost of all closed basins in Central Asia. Its name comes from the name of the vast shallow and very salty lake Ubsunur, in the area of ​​which a lot of migratory, waterfowl and near-water birds accumulate. The object consists of 12 disparate plots (including seven plots in Russia, with an area of ​​258.6 thousand hectares), which represent all the main types of landscapes characteristic of Eastern Eurasia. A wide variety of birds is noted in the steppes, and rare species of small mammals live in desert areas. In the highlands, such animals are noted, rare in global scale like the snow leopard and argali mountain sheep, as well as the Siberian ibex.

Old city and fortifications of Derbent

Ancient Derbent was located on the northern borders of Sasanian Persia, which at that time stretched east and west from the Caspian Sea. Ancient fortifications built of stone include two fortress walls that run parallel to each other from the seashore to the mountains. The city of Derbent was formed between these two walls and has retained its medieval character to this day. It continued to be a strategically important site well into the 19th century.

Wrangel Island

The heritage site, located above the Arctic Circle, includes the mountainous Wrangel Island and Herald Island, together with the adjacent waters of the Chukchi and East Siberian Seas. Wrangel Island is known for its huge walrus rookeries (one of the largest in the Arctic), as well as the highest density of polar bear birth dens in the world. The area is important as a feeding ground for gray whales migrating here from California and as a breeding ground for more than 50 species of birds, many of which are classified as rare and endangered. More than 400 species and varieties of vascular plants have been recorded on the island, more than on any other Arctic island. Some of the living organisms found here are special island forms of those plants and animals that are widespread on the continent. About 40 species and subspecies of plants, insects, birds and animals are defined as endemic.

Arc Struve

The Struve Arc is a chain of triangulation points stretching for 2820 km across the territory of ten European countries from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea. These reference observation points were laid in the period 1816-1855. astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve (aka Vasily Yakovlevich Struve), who thus made the first reliable measurement of a large segment of the earth's meridian arc. This made it possible to accurately determine the size and shape of our planet, which was an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping. It was an exceptional example of cooperation in scientific field between scientists different countries and between reigning monarchs. Initially, the "arc" consisted of 258 geodetic "triangles" (polygons) with 265 main triangulation points. The World Heritage Site includes 34 such sites (the best surviving to date), which are marked on the ground in a variety of ways, such as: hollows carved into the rocks, iron crosses, cairns or specially installed obelisks.

Putorana Plateau

This object coincides with its borders with the Putoransky State Nature Reserve, located in the northern part of Central Siberia, 100 km above the Arctic Circle. The World Heritage part of this plateau has a full range of subarctic and arctic ecosystems preserved in an isolated mountain range, including pristine taiga, forest tundra, tundra and arctic desert systems, as well as a pristine cold water lake and river systems. Through the site runs the main migration route of reindeer, which is an exceptional, majestic and increasingly rare phenomenon of nature.

Lena Pillars

The Lena Pillars Natural Park is formed by rock formations of rare beauty, which reach a height of about 100 meters and are located along the banks of the Lena River in the central part of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). They originated in a sharply continental climate with a difference in annual temperature of up to 100 degrees Celsius (from -60°C in winter to +40°C in summer). The pillars are separated from each other by deep and steep ravines, partially filled with frosted rock fragments. The penetration of water from the surface accelerated the process of freezing and contributed to frost weathering. This led to the deepening of the ravines between the pillars and their dispersal. The proximity of the river and its course are dangerous factors for the pillars.

Architectural and historical complex Bulgar

Settlement on the banks of the Volga (in Tatarstan). The first settlements date back to the 9th-10th centuries. The remains of the rampart and the moat of the XIV-XV centuries, buildings from the era of the conquest of the Volga Bulgaria by the Mongols, have been preserved.

In fact, this name in Russian is just a transfer of English letters, the so-called transliteration. Therefore, we will have to decipher the English name. The literal translation of UNESCO means: United (United) Nations (Nations) Educational (in Education), Scientific (in Science) and Cultural (and in Culture) Organization (Organization). In Russian it would sound like the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture, but this abbreviation did not take root, so we use this designation, copied into Russian by UNESCO. unesco transcript

Activities of UNESCO Founded on November 16, 1945, that is, immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War, the organization launched a vigorous activity aimed at restoring the destroyed educational institutions, restoration of monuments. The main goal of UNESCO is to establish cooperation between states in the field of culture, education and science, to solve the problems of discrimination in the field of literacy and education, as well as to train national personnel for each state and, of course, to protect cultural objects of world importance. This is what we are going to talk about in a little more detail.

UNESCO World Heritage In 1972, the organization adopted the so-called Convention for the Protection of the World Natural and Cultural Heritage, which entered into force in 1975. At the annual sessions that have taken place since then, UNESCO members decide on the inclusion of a particular cultural object in the World Heritage Fund.
