Wadden Sea (Denmark)

The Wadden Sea is the largest unbroken system of intertidal sand and mud flats in the world. 

The site covers the Dutch Wadden Sea Conservation Area, the German Wadden Sea National Parks of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein, and most of the Danish Wadden Sea maritime conservation area. 

It is a large, temperate, relatively flat coastal wetland environment, formed by the intricate interactions between physical and biological factors that have given rise to a multitude of transitional habitats with tidal channels, sandy shoals, sea-grass meadows, mussel beds, sandbars, mudflats, salt marshes, estuaries, beaches and dunes. 

The area is home to numerous plant and animal species, including marine mammals such as the harbour seal, grey seal and harbour porpoise. 

Wadden Sea is one of the last remaining large-scale, intertidal ecosystems where natural processes continue to function largely undisturbed.

Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian (Beijing - China)

Scientific work at the site, which lies 42 km south-west of Beijing, is still underway. 

So far, it has led to the discovery of the remains of Sinanthropus pekinensis, who lived in the Middle Pleistocene, along with various objects, and remains of Homo sapiens sapiens dating as far back as 18,000–11,000 B.C. 

The site is not only an exceptional reminder of the prehistorical human societies of the Asian continent, but also illustrates the process of evolution.

Sewell Mining Town (Sewell - Chile)

Situated at 2,000 m in the Andes, 60 km to the east of Rancagua, in an environment marked by extremes of climate, Sewell Mining Town was built by the Braden Copper company in 1905 to house workers at what was to become the world’s largest underground copper mine, El Teniente. 

It is an outstanding example of the company towns that were born in many remote parts of the world from the fusion of local labour and resources from an industrialized nation, to mine and process high-value natural resources. 

The town was built on a terrain too steep for wheeled vehicles around a large central staircase rising from the railway station. 

Along its route formal squares of irregular shape with ornamental trees and plants constituted the main public spaces or squares of the town. 

The buildings lining the streets are timber, often painted in vivid green, yellow, red and blue. 

At its peak Sewell numbered 15,000 inhabitants, but was largely abandoned in the 1970s.
