WORLD HERITAGE PROJECT

LOS GLACIARES NATIONAL PARK

• Glacier national park covers half of the world heritage property
• It is known for rugged glacial lakes that extend for 160 km long
• It is located in Argentina
• I think it is important because it holds giant glaciers that are an important part of history dating 10,000 years

IGUAZU NATIONAL PARK

• Located in Argentina
• It contains a waterfall 80 m high and 2,700 m in diameter
• The surrounding rainforest has 2,000 species of plants and has many wildlife species
• I think it is important because it contains species that reveal other world heritage sites. The species also make a better effort to communicate the biological diversity contained with other world heritage properties

DESEMBARCO DEL GRANMA NATIONAL PARK

• Located in Cuba
• This park contains uplifted terraces with ongoing development in features
• This area has terraces and cliffs with some of the most impressive cliffs bordering the western Atlantic
• I think this park is important because it has cliffs that are important to the environment. I also think this park is important because it represents globally geomorphologic and physiographic features.

CANAIMA NATIONAL PARK
