Inventory of heritage sites in Nepal

As excellent examples of oceanic island ecosystems, many unmodified by human influences, these islands are of great conservation significance but adequate protection varies. The papers in this volume examine the progress made by various national authorities since the first workshop in 1986 and set out a new call for action in 35 recommendations.
Paradise on Earth is the result of a collaboration between IUCN and Harper-MacRae Publishing (now World Heritage Publishing Pty. Ltd.) with support from UNESCO and WCMC. The book includes more than 350 colour photographs which accompany detailed descriptions of each natural site inscribed on the World Heritage List.
This stunningly attractive hardback book covering 360 sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List, combines a superb collection of over 400 colour photographs of cultural and natural World Heritage sites with essays contributed by world-renowned figures. Each site is illustrated and accompanied by a description of its location and significance.
