These 14 Roman cities are both important archaeological sites and also linked to the travels of Augustine (354–430), Bishop of Hippo. He was a philosopher and theologian. Augustine, an important Latin Father and Doctor of the Church, is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. From Hippo Regius, his missions take him to places along routes that cover all of eastern Algeria and part of central Algeria today. His travels in Numidia and Mauretania are well documented and the places visited clearly identified thanks to his numerous correspondences and sermons.	2	Algeria		1773				2	Arab States	4
7	90	Cultural Landscape of the Gorge in Constantine	Cultural Landscape of the Gorge in Constantine		Constantine is the capital of eastern Algeria and the third largest city of the country. During Roman times it was called Cirta. This 2000-year-old city is often called "City of Bridges" due to the numerous picturesque bridges connecting the various hills, valleys, and ravines that the city is built on and around. In Constantine is one of the most breathtaking sceneries of any city of this size thanks to its unique and picturesque geography. The city is set on a high plateau split in half by a deep and dramatic gorge. A series of historic bridges span across the Rhummel River gorge that runs through Constantine. The Sidi M'Cid suspension bridge, built in 1912, is the highest (175 meters high) and most stunning of all the bridges. It was once the highest suspension bridge in the world.	2	Algeria		0	wiki			2	Arab States	4

12	418	Deception Island	f		Deception Island is the caldera of an active volcano in the South Shetland Islands archipelago administered under the Antarctic Treaty System. The centre of the island has been flooded by the sea to form a large bay with a narrow entrance, just 500m wide creating one of the safest natural ice-free harbours in Antarctica. In the early 1820's it became a focal point of the short-lived fur-sealing industry in the South Shetlands. In the early 1900's it was again used as a whaling base and processing centre. This was later followed by scientific research stations from multiple nations until they were also abandoned due to volcanic activity. Remains of previous structures include rusting boilers and tanks, an aircraft hangar, and the British scientific station house. From a cultural standpoint Deception Island represents and important early attempt at colonization and commercialization of Antarctica. From a natural standpoint: The island is associated with Bransfield Basin seafloor spreading that includes a volcanic ridge and seamounts dating back to the Pleistocene and exhibits some wildly varying micro climates. Near volcanic areas, the air can be as hot as 40 °C and water temperature can reach 70 °C. 11 terrestrial sites have been collectively designated as an Antarctic specially protected area (ASPA 140), primarily for their botanic and ecological values, because the island has the greatest number of rare plant species of any place in the Antarctic. It is also the first site in Antarctica where fossilized plants were discovered.	999	Antarctica	Mixed	0				10	Antarctica	4

14	406	Iberá National Park	Iberá National Park		The Iberá Provincial Reserve is a provincial protected area in the north-west of Corrientes Province, north-eastern Argentina. It contains a mix of swamps, bogs, stagnant lakes, lagoons, natural sloughs and courses of water. It it part of the Iberá Wetlands, a greater system of marshes of 1,500,000–2,000,000 ha, the second-largest wetland in the world after Pantanal in Brazil, and one of the most important fresh water reservoirs in the continent. This lagoon system is typically very shallow, although in times of floods it can reach over three meters deep. Few areas of dry land alternate with these water bodies, mostly low and sandy hills; the rest is covered by a large expanse of floodplains. In addition, natural dams are formed by root entanglement of floating vegetation formations that are sometimes strong enough to walk on them. The natural reserve is known for its biodiversity, including four species that have been declared "provincial natural monuments": the neotropical otter, the maned wolf, the pampas deer and the marsh deer. It is also home to the two Argentine species of alligator, the yacare caiman and the broad-snouted caiman (yacaré overo), as well as the world's largest rodent, the capybara, and about 350 bird species	3	Argentina	Natural	0				9	Latin America	4

The city was also a historic trading center, central to the muslin trade in Bangladesh during the 17th and 18th century. The British East India Company arrived in the 19th century and helped develop the Panam Nagar section of the city, in order to purchase muslin and other textile goods. This neighborhood contains over 50 historic buildings built by Hindu merchants but later abandoned in the 20th century. This former textile trading center has been declared a protected heritage site by the Bangladeshi government.	8	Bangladesh		0				5	Asia	4
24	330	Puthia Temple Complex	Puthia Temple Complex		Puthia Temple Complex comprises a cluster of notable old Hindu temples; it has the largest number of historic temples in Bangladesh. The temples were built by Hindu Zamindars Rajas of the Puthia Raj family who were noted philanthropists of Rajshahi. Hence they are an expression of the zamindar feudal system which was common on the Indian subcontinent until the 1950s. The temples are in the typical Bangladeshi-Hindu terracotta architectural style. Puthia's monuments are mostly 18th/19th century, which places the site in the British colonial history where the zamindars became wealthy and influential.	8	Bangladesh		0	wiki			5	Asia	4

There are several areas with skeletal remains in the main chamber. The best known is "The Crystal Maiden", the skeleton of an adolescent whose bones have been calcified to a sparkling, crystallized appearance. The cave also has ceramics and remains completely calcified to the cave floor. The Maya also modified cave formations here, in some instances to create altars for the offerings, in others to create silhouettes of faces and animals or to project a shadow image into the cave. The cave is extensively decorated with cave formations in the upper passages. Animal life in the cave includes a large population of bats, large freshwater crabs, crayfish, catfish and other tropical fish. Large invertebrates like Amblypygi and various predatory spiders also inhabit the cave.	11	Belize	Cultural	0				9	Latin America	4

34	398	Amboró and Carrasco National Parks	Amboró and Carrasco National Parks		Amboró (ANP) and Carrasco (CNP) National Parks are adjacent to one another and together the two form a larger conservation unit. They both covers several ecoregions, one of which are the Bolivian Yungas, an ecoregion not yet represented on the WHL with distinct ecological differences from the Peruvian yungas. The Yungas forests are extremely diverse, ranging from moist lowland forest to evergreen montane forest and cloud forests. There are high levels of biodiversity and species endemism throughout the Yungas regions. (1) ANP is one of the most botanically rich national parks in the world. The current number of documented plant species totals around 3,000, though this is almost certainly an underestimate. By comparison, the much more thoroughly documented and very biologically rich Hawaiian Island archipelago, which covers about six times the total area of ANP, has only about 2,800 native plant species, while the British Isles (covering about 65 times the area of Amboró) have only around 2,000. Much of the biodiversity of Amboró is partitioned according to the park's highly dissected topography and the widely varying climatic regimes that accompany the sharp transitions in elevation. Vegetational diversity is equally exceptional within the park. Another factor contributing to the park's high plant species richness is its location at the confluence of several diverse and unique floristic regions. (2) CNP has more than 5,000 plant species, placing the park among Bolivia's most biologically diverse. The park is a mountainous landscape of rivers, waterfalls, gentle valleys and deep canyons. There is exuberant vegetation that protects and harbors several animals, plants and trees that are in danger of extinction.	13	Bolivia	Natural	0				9	Latin America	4

It was the first such vast protected area in the world, and was the prototype of large indigenous territories throughout Amazonia which now protect a significant proportion of surviving tropical rain forests. At least 16 different tribes inhabit the park with reports on uncontacted people. Only scientists may enter the park. Around Kuhikugu Lake a large archaeological complex was discovered. Large defensive ditches and palisades were built around some of the communities. Large plazas also exist at some of the towns throughout the region, some around 150 m across. Many of the communities at Kuhikugu were linked, with roads which bridged some rivers along their paths, and with canoe canals running alongside some of the roads. Fields of mandioca (cassava) may have existed around the communities at Kuhikugu, suggesting that the people there were farmers. Dams and ponds which appear to have been constructed in the area also suggest that the inhabitants of Kuhikugu may have been involved with fish farming, which is still practised by some of their modern day Kuikuro descendants.	14	Brazil	Mixed	0				9	Latin America	4
43	411	Amazon Reef	Amazon Reef		The Amazon Reef is an extensive coral and sponge reef system. It is one of the largest known reef systems in the world, with scientists estimating its length at over 1,000 kilometres and comparable to the size of the island of Cyprus. The site would also be a representative of the "Northeast Brazil Shelf Marine" Global 200 Marine ecoregion. The reef's existence is unusual, as reef systems do not often exist in the mouths of larger rivers like the Amazon, due to the low salinity and high acidity, in addition to the continuous rain of sediments. The reef primarily owes its existence to its depth, as it is below the freshwater layer of discharge from the Amazon into the Atlantic Ocean. The majority of the reef is made up of beds of rhodolith, various species of red algae, which superficially resemble coral. While it has been described as "not having the biodiversity of some of the more prominent coral reefs of the world", 61 species of sponge and 73 species of fish, in addition to various coral and starfish species, have so far been identified as inhabiting the reef.	14	Brazil	Natural	0				9	Latin America	4

The park covers an extensive sandy plain, and holds the Viruá alluvial "megafan". Soils are extremely poor in nutrients and highly acidic. It is in the megadiverse "Campinaranas" ecological region, on the lower Rio Branco ("White River") within the Rio Negro basin. It covers a mosaic of forested and non-forested humid ecosystems, which are representative of a unique geo-ecological system in the Amazon, and play important roles in flood control, sediment deposition and other natural cycles. The many environments support high biodiversity, and the park is one of the main areas for studying campinarana. The Site presents exceptional levels of biodiversity, especially of fish with 500 species recorded, and birds with over 530 species recorded of which 28 are endemic. More than 2,000 plants species have been identified, and it is estimated that there are more than 5,000 in total, making it one of the most botanically diverse conservation units in Brazil.	14	Brazil	Natural	0				9	Latin America	4

However, I propose this site for two reasons: a) The 13.600 km2 Venezuelan reserve and the 22.524 km2 Brazilian side form a very large area of pristine Amazonian rainforest and are part of the Biological Corridor of Northern Amazonia. Its vastness contributes to its huge biodiversity and endemism, with a great diversity of rare and endemic plants (like the Neblinaria celiae bush and carnivorous plants) and a great potential for future discoveries of new species, given also the different altitudinal zones in the parks, from tropical primary forest to alpine meadows. Regarding the fauna, it is also reach, including endangered species such as the golden-backed uakari (a primate), the bush dog, the jaguar, the ornate hawk-eagle, the great black hawk, the Toco toucan, the Black Curassow, the Grey-winged trumpeter, the South American tapir, as well as several species of the Callicebinae monkeys. There is also a great variety of snakes, like the Emerald Boa, Lachesis Muta and Anacondas. b) There is a richness of indigenous groups living in the parks, from the yanomami, tucanos, tuiúcas, desanos, baníuas, coripacos, carapanã, barés, tarianas, piratapuias, yepamasãs, cubeos e warekenas ethnic groups. The most distinctive of them are the yanomamis, which have kept to this day mostly isolated and have a distinctive type of settlements, made up of large and oval-shaped communal houses named shabono.	14	Brazil		39				9	Latin America	4

66	126	Fur Trading Centers of the Northwest	Fur Trading Centers of the Northwest		The fur trade was instrumental to the exploration, colonization, and economic development of northwest Canada and the United States. The Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company were the preeminent British fur trading companies in North America between the late 17th century and the early 19th century, when they were merged. The Hudson's Bay Company relied on establishing factories (trading posts) where First Nations peoples could bring furs to trade, while the North West Company hired French pedlars, also known as coureur des bois, who would travel out to First Nation villages to conduct trade in furs. These companies fostered an exchange of culture between European settlers and First Nations peoples and exerted influence in the colonization and later incorporation of western Canada into the Confederation. Recommended properties include the York Factory, the Hudson's Bay Company's main post, located on the Hudson Bay; the Grand Portage, an 8.5-mile canoe portage trail in the US state of Minnesota vital to trade in furs between First Nations peoples and North West Company pedlars; and the Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site, a former North West Company fur warehouse near Montreal dating back to the early 19th century.	18	Canada		0				6	Europe North America	4

The cable was later replaced in the 1860's due to the original cable's poor insulation. The transatlantic telegraph route ushered in a new world of telecommunications, allowing messages to arrive between Europe and North America in a period of minutes, rather than days, and led to the installation of a network of cables connecting the world. The telegraph route additionally inaugurated an era of international trade and stock exchanges, and modernized international diplomacy.	18	Canada		0				6	Europe North America	4
