| Sangay National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Sangay) is a national park located in the Morona Santiago, Chimborazo and Tungurahua provinces of Ecuador. | WIKI |
| The park contains two active volcanoes (Tungurahua and Sangay), one extinct volcano El Altar (Kapak Urku), and ecosystems ranging from tropical rainforests to glaciers. | WIKI |
| The park has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. | WIKI |
| In 1992, it was added to the List of World Heritage in Danger due to illegal poaching, extensive grazing, unplanned road construction and encroachment of the park's perimeter. | WIKI |
| Especially for the mountain tapir, the park is one of the most important strongholds. | WIKI |
| About 300-400 bird species inhabit the Park,[2] and it has been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International. | WIKI |
| The cougar and pampas cat have been recorded in the park as well. | WIKI |
| In 2016, a new Pristimantis species was described from the park's cloud forest. | WIKI |
| With an altitudinal range extending from 900 to 5,319 metres above sea level, the park includes three volcanoes: Tungurahua (5,016m), Sangay (5,230m), and Altar (5,319m). | UNESCO |
| The park also contains one of the largest areas of pxc3xa1ramo (a montane grassland vegetation) occurring in Ecuador. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (ix): The presence of an active volcano means that primary succession is a continual process which influences species composition in a number of special ecosystems in the park, including rainforest, cloud forest, grasslands and moorlands (pxc3xa1ramos). | UNESCO |
| Although the flora is poorly known, at least 3,000 species are expected to occur in the park and, given the special conditions, probably exhibit a high degree of endemism. | UNESCO |
| The park comprises two Endemic Bird Areas, the Central Andean pxc3xa1ramo (home to some 11 bird species of restricted range), and the Ecuador-Peru East Andes (home to 17 restricted-range species). | UNESCO |
| It is important to note that the high diversity of ecosystems and different vegetation types in the park increases the likelihood of evolutionary changes. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (x): Natural vegetation has been well conserved and covers around 84.5% of the entire park. | UNESCO |
| With its different ecosystems, the park has the best and least disturbed assemblage of native species in the region. | UNESCO |
| At least 3,000 species of flowering plants are expected to occur in the park and recent reports describe 107 mammal, 430 bird, 33 amphibian, 14 reptile and 17 fish species. | UNESCO |
| Perhaps the highest profile animal is the endangered Mountain Tapir, for which the Sangay Park represents one of its last refuges. | UNESCO |
| The park is also one of the three protected areas with the largest populations of Spectacled Bear, classified as vulnerable. | UNESCO |
| In 1992 the park was extended to the south, increasing its area by 245,800 ha, although this extension was not included as part of the World Heritage property. | UNESCO |
| 15,651 ha of park were excluded in May 2004, but the area inscribed as World Heritage was not reduced. | UNESCO |
| Today, the Park covers an area of 502,105 ha of which 271,925 ha is considered as World Heritage. | UNESCO |
| A large part of the subtropical forest in the lowlands along the eastern border of the Park has been converted to grasslands for cattle ranching and agriculture, and these activities that represent the most significant threats to the property, including the risk of encroachment and livestock entering the property, illegal hunting and fishing are also an ongoing concern. | UNESCO |
| The park was seriously affected by the building of the road, which now separates the World Heritage site from the southern extension of the park. | UNESCO |
| However, in 2005 a new management plan was adopted defining strategies for the restoration of the zones affected by the road, as well as developing participative management of the park in order to reduce conflicts over land use and the relationship between the local population and wildlife. | UNESCO |
| Following this the park was removed from the List in of World Heritage in Danger. | UNESCO |
