Ten World Natural Heritage sites have been selected as pilot sites
for this project. All sites were included on the World Heritage list,
in part, for their biodiversity values (criterion iv for designation
of natural sites). The sites are located in Africa (4 sites), South
Asia (3 sites) and Latin America (3 sites). They were selected to
represent a range of biomes (marine, freshwater, forest and savannah)
and management systems. Two of the sites are currently included on
the World Heritage in Danger list.
