| Chengjiang Fossil Site[edit] | WIKI |
| In evolutionary biology, and especially paleontology, Chengjiang is noted for soft-tissue fossil finds, of the Maotianshan Shales, dated less than 518 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion, which "are as spectacular as the Burgess Shale fauna, and significantly older. | WIKI |
| "[1] These fossils are considered one of the most important fossil finds of the 20th century. | WIKI |
| [2][3] In 2012, the Changjiang Fossil Site became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. | WIKI |
| The Chengjiang Fossil Site, located in the Province of Yunnan, China, conserves fossil remains which are of exceptional significance. | UNESCO |
| The rocks and fossils of the Chengjiang Fossil Site present an outstanding and extraordinarily preserved record that testifies to the rapid diversification of life on Earth during the early Cambrian period, 530 million years before present. | UNESCO |
| The diverse geological evidence from the Chengjiang Fossil Site presents fossil remains of the highest quality of preservation and conveys a complete record of an early Cambrian marine community. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (viii): The Chengjiang Fossil Site presents an exceptional record of the rapid diversification of life on Earth during the early Cambrian period, 530 million years before present. | UNESCO |
| The exceptional palaeontological evidence of the Chengjiang Fossil Site is unrivalled for its rich species diversity. | UNESCO |
| The property displays excellent quality of fossil preservation including the soft and hard tissues of animals with hard skeletons, along with a wide array of organisms that were entirely soft-bodied, and therefore relatively unrepresented in the fossil record. | UNESCO |
| The sediments of Chengjiang provide what are currently the oldest known fossil chordates, the phylum to which all vertebrates belong. | UNESCO |
| The fossils and rocks of the Chengjiang Fossil Site, together, present a complete record of an early Cambrian marine community. | UNESCO |
| It is noted that fossil evidence is provided in some sites that lie outside the property boundaries and its buffer zone, and these areas need to receive appropriate wider protection and are important to provide context for the property. | UNESCO |
| Various excavations have occurred within the property in relation to the two key fossil sites. | UNESCO |
| Additionally, a museum has been built at Miaotanshan, over the site of the first Chengjiang Fauna fossil discovery. | UNESCO |
| The Chengjiang Fossil Site is state-owned and protected under the Article 9 of the constitution of the Peoplexe2x80x99s Republic of China and by various laws including the Environmental Protection Law of the Peoplexe2x80x99s Republic of China (2002), the Law of the Peoplexe2x80x99s Republic of China on Cultural Relic Protection (2002), the regulations on the management of paleontological specimens (Ministry of Land and Resources, 2002), regulations on the protection and management of geological relics (1995) and the regulation on the protection of Yunnan Chengjiang Fauna Fossil (1997). | UNESCO |
| The Chengjiang Fossil Site Management Institute is responsible for coordinating on-site management of the protected area. | UNESCO |
| The property protection strategy includes a National Geopark zoning plan which affords adequate protection to key fossil sites, supported by staffing for implementation. | UNESCO |
| The finances of the Chengjiang Fossil Site come largely from national sources and are supplemented by smaller contributions at the City and County levels. | UNESCO |
| The need for ongoing and effective curation of fossil specimens collected from the property, to the highest international standards, is fully recognised and provided for by the State Party. | UNESCO |
| Increased visitation to the property requires effective management strategies and the provision of guides, designation of restricted areas, and strict restrictions on fossil collecting. | UNESCO |
| There is a need to assure effective land-use planning in areas surrounding the property in order to secure its long-term conservation, including the conservation of fossil sites in the surrounding area that provide context for understanding the value of the property. | UNESCO |
