South Korea's beach was successfully applied for world heritage. It was returned by the United Nations because it was not large enough
According to Yonhap, South Korean beaches were listed in the world heritage list at the 44th UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting held in Fuzhou on July 26. As a result, South Korea's world heritage has increased to 15.
2150 species such as endangered migratory birds inhabit the beaches of South Korea. In May this year, the South Korean beach was asked by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), an evaluation agency under UNESCO, to "return and restate", because the beach area is not large enough, but the South Korean government does not intend to give up the application for world heritage.
Yonhap said that it was the first time that South Korea's "return and restatement" heritage turned over for a single time.
It is reported that among the four beaches in South Korea, Xin'an beach has the largest area, reaching 1100 square kilometers, and the rest are about 60 square kilometers. There are wetland reserves everywhere, and some are Ramsar wetlands. There are 22 species of endangered waterfowl, 5 species of marine invertebrates and 47 native species such as tiger head crab in the beaches of South Korea. The most typical endangered species are oystersnipe, Oriental White Stork, white headed crane and finless porpoise. South Korean beach is also a key transit station on the migration route of migratory birds in East Asia and Oceania.
In the process of applying for the world heritage, the Korean government stressed that adhering to the outstanding universal value (ouv), it maintains species diversity and plays a core role in incubating international endangered species in the Yellow Sea section of the East Asia Australia migration line, which is the world's three major migratory bird migration routes. There are 10 criteria for inclusion in the world heritage list, of which 4 are used for the consideration of natural heritage projects. South Korean beaches meet the article of "habitat of remaining rare or endangered animal and plant species".
The World Conservation Union said that "South Korea Beach" is of great significance as a natural habitat for the protection of biodiversity. However, from the perspective of topography and ecology, except Xin'an beach, the area of other beaches is not large enough, and it is not sufficient as a buffer zone of world heritage. However, the South Korean government actively explained to 21 member states that the South Korean beaches meet the natural heritage standards, and promised to expand the heritage area in the future.
So far, South Korea's world heritage has increased to 15. The remaining 14 items are grotto nunneries and Buddhist temples, Haiyin temple, 80000 Da Zang Sutra collection office, Zong temple, Changde palace, Shuiyuan Huacheng, Qingzhou historical site, Gaochang · Heshun · Jianghua prehistoric tomb site, Jeju volcanic island and lava cave, Korean king's mausoleum, Korean historical villages (Hehui village and Liangdong Village), Nan Han mountain city, Baiji historical site, mountain temple - famous Korean Buddhist mountain temple, and Korean Academy. Among them, there are two natural heritages, namely Jeju volcanic island and lava cave and South Korean beach. The remaining 13 are cultural heritage. World heritage is divided into three categories: cultural heritage, natural heritage and natural and cultural heritage( Overseas network (Liu Qiang)
