Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1987, this huge, million-and-a-half-hectare park rises from 150 to 4,200 metres above sea level, its vegetation varying with altitude. The tropical forestland of its lower areas harbours an unparalleled diversity of fauna and flora, including 850 bird species and such rarities as the giant otter and giant armadillo. In 2009, the Park became the focus of a project on adaptation to climate change, an issue in which UNESCO is very much involved.
In 2000, the Loire Valley was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, which reflects the richness and diversity of the planet’s cultural and natural heritage. Mission Val de Loire extends you a monthly invitation to acquaint yourself with other World Heritage sites, which are also our heritage.

Local capacities for adaptation to climate change and risk management
Negotiated with the support of the World Heritage Centre, this 3-year project (2009-2012) was financed by the Swiss government and implemented by UNESCO’s office in Lima, based on a strategic alliance with Peru’s National Department of Protected Areas.
The project enabled work to be carried out on:
- development of a plan for adaptation to climate change for the Manú National Park (which is also a UNESCO biosphere reserve)
- assistance to neighbouring communities to improve their understanding of climate change and its consequences on their means of subsistence, and of possible measures they might take to manage forecast impacts.
The World Heritage global network helps raise awareness of the impacts of climate change on human societies and cultural diversity, biodiversity and ecosystem services, and the world’s natural and cultural heritage.
