Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1178.pdf UNESCO Region: LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 15th July 2005 STATE PARTY: CHILE CRITERIA: C (ii)(iii)(iv) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Decisions of the 29th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (ii): The development of the saltpeter industry reflects the combined knowledge, skills, technology, and financial investment of a diverse community of people who were brought together from around South America, and from Europe. The saltpeter industry became a huge cultural exchange complex where ideas were quickly absorbed and exploited. The two works represent this process. Criterion (iii): The saltpeter mines and their associated company towns developed into an extensive and very distinct urban community with its own language, organisation, customs, and creative expressions, as well as displaying technical entrepreneurship. The two nominated works represent this distinctive culture. Criterion (iv): The saltpeter mines in the north of Chile together became the largest producers of natural saltpeter in the world, transforming the Pampa and indirectly the agricultural lands that benefited from the fertilisers the works produced. The two works represent this transformation process. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Humberstone and Santa Laura works contain over 200 former saltpeter works where workers from Chile, Peru and Bolivia lived in company towns and forged a distinctive communal pampinos culture. That culture is manifest in their rich language, creativity, and solidarity, and, above all, in their pioneering struggle for social justice, which had a profound impact on social history. Situated in the remote desert Pampa, one of the driest deserts on earth, thousands of pampinos lived and worked in this hostile environment, for over 60 years, from 1880, to process the largest deposit of saltpeter in the world, producing the fertilizer sodium nitrate that was to transform agricultural lands in North and South America, and in Europe, and produce great wealth for Chile. 1.b State, Province or Region: Province of Iquique 1.d Exact location: S20 12 20.9 W69 47 38.6 1 Oficinas Salitreras Humberstone y Santa Laura POSTULACIÓN PARA SU INCLUSIÓN EN LA LISTA DEL PATRIMONIO MUNDIAL/UNESCO Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works NOMINATION FOR INCLUSION ON THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST/UNESCO REPÚBLICA DE CHILE|REPUBLIC OF CHILE DICIEMBRE|DECEMBER 2003 2 REPÚBLICA DE CHILE/Oficinas Salitreras Humberstone y Santa Laura, postulación para su Inclusión en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial/Unesco 3 REPUBLIC OF CHILE/Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works, nomination for Inclusion on the World Heritage List/Unesco Oficinas Salitreras Humberstone y Santa Laura POSTULACIÓN PARA SU INCLUSIÓN EN LA LISTA DEL PATRIMONIO MUNDIAL/UNESCO Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works NOMINATION FOR INCLUSION ON THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST/UNESCO REPÚBLICA DE CHILE|REPUBLIC OF CHILE DICIEMBRE|DECEMBER 2003 4 REPÚBLICA DE CHILE/Oficinas Salitreras Humberstone y Santa Laura, postulación para su Inclusión en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial/Unesco 5 REPUBLIC OF CHILE/Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works, nomination for Inclusion on the World Heritage List/Unesco En 1998 el Gobierno de Chile incluyó las Oficinas Salitreras Humberstone y Santa In 1998, the Chilean Government included the Santiago Humberstone and Santa Laura en la Lista Tentativa de Bienes Culturales a ser postulados como Sitios del Laura Saltpeter Works on the Tentative List of Cultural Properties to be nominated as Patrimonio Mundial, estableciendo un carácter prioritario para su nominación, decisión World Heritage Sites, establishing priorities for their nomination; a decision that ack- que reconoce el valor universal de esta rica herencia. nowledges the universal value of this rich legacy.

  • The Geography of Chile, Characterised by a Narrow and Long Strip of Land Located Between the High Ranges of the Andes Mountains
    ABSTRACT RESULTS CONSIDERING ONLY NEW WURs (ND+UA) RESULTS CONSIDERING ALL GRANTED WURs (ND+UA+RN) The geography of Chile, characterised by a narrow and long strip of land located between the high ranges of the Andes mountains and the Pacific Ocean, provides an exceptional scenario for analysing spatial and temporal variability of climate and water resources. Chile is positioned in the 20th rank of water availability per capita, however, around a 70% of the national population is located in arid and semiarid regions. These regions have experienced significant water shortages during the last decade, which have affected water security and ecosystems. Therefore, water shortages and water governance are major issues to be addressed in Chile in the Case 1 Case 3 Anthropocene. Regarding water governance, the Chilean water allocation system is based on a 47 out of 49 catchments 49 out of 51 catchments are overallocated in North are overallocated in North water use rights (WURs) market, with limited regulatory and supervisory mechanisms, where and Central macrozones and Central macrozones the volume to be granted as permanent and eventual WURs is calculated from streamflow records when they are available. A recent study on a semi-arid catchment in central Chile emphasized the urgent need to revise the water allocation methodology, which at the moment does not account for the non-stationarity of hydrological processes. This limitation has caused an over-exploitation of water supplies in the study catchment. To further explore these allocation system limitations and to provide robust recommendations, in this study we extend the former study and provide the first large sample diagnosis of water use rights and water supply, covering 516 basins from the catchment dataset for large sample studies in Chile, CAMELS-CL.

Climate conditions and atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) influence the establishment and performance of plants and thus have a direct influence on vegetation cover. In addition, vegetation dynamics (competition 20 for space, light, nutrients and water) and stochastic events (mortality and fires) determine the state of vegetation, response times to environmental perturbations, and the successional development. In spite of this, state-of-art reconstructions of past transient vegetation changes have not been accounted for in landscape evolution models. Here, a widely used dynamic vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS) was used to simulate vegetation composition/ cover and surface runoff in Chile for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), Mid Holocene (MH) and present day (PD).
