    Struve Geodetic Arc Joins World Heritage List

    ARTICLE Struve Geodetic Arc Joins World Heritage List 15th July, Durban, South Africa The World Heritage Committee chaired by Themba Wakashe, South Africa’s deputy director-general for Heritage and National Archives has inscribed seventeen cultural sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The nominations took place on 15th July at a meeting in Durban, South Africa. The World Heritage List now numbers 812 sites in total, including 628 cultural, 160 natural and 24 mixed sites, in 137 States. Bahrain, the Republic of Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina enter the List for the first time. The sites inscribed during the current session of the World Heritage Committee include three transboundary sites and extensions to six sites that were already on the List. The Struve Geodetic Arc is the first survey-site on the list. The countries hosting the Struve Geodetic Arc are Belarus, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, Sweden and Ukraine. The Struve Geo- detic Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, through ten countries and over 2,820km. These are the points of a survey carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve and represent the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian. This helped establish the exact size and shape of our planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping. It is an extraordinary example of scientific collaboration among scientists from different countries, and of collaboration between monarchs, for a scientific cause.

    PROGRAMA DE MANEJO MADERAS DEL CARMEN I. PRESENTACIÓN El 7 de noviembre de 1994, se publicó en el Diario Oficial de la Federación el decreto mediante el cual se establece el Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna Maderas del Carmen. En dicho decreto se justifica la creación de una nueva área natural protegida de 208,381 ha. de superficie, como una estrategia para conservar los valores naturales de un sitio en el que actualmente existen organismos de gran importancia biológica y también porque estas montañas forman parte de un corredor natural a través del cual se desplazan numerosas especies de animales y se dispersan diversas especies de plantas. La creación de esta nueva área protegida, es la respuesta a la demanda de investigadores, manejadores de áreas protegidas, políticos y organizaciones no gubernamentales, que durante 60 años han alentado la idea de proteger estas sierras: tanto por su valor intrínseco, como por la posibilidad de que, junto con el Parque Nacional Big Bend, el Área de Manejo de Black Gap, y el Parque Estatal Big Bend Ranch, en Texas, y ahora con el Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna Cañón de Santa Elena, en Chihuahua, sean en conjunto una de las superficies protegidas más extensas entre los dos países. De esta forma, los recursos más representativos del Desierto Chihuahuense quedarían prácticamente asegurados. Las intenciones de proteger este lugar se inician en 1935 y, aunque no se presentan de una forma constante durante todo ese tiempo, se manifiestan repetidamente hasta alcanzar su propósito en 1994. La región más estudiada en esa área por nacionales y extranjeros, es Maderas del Carmen, debido a las características que como "Isla del Cielo" tiene, y posteriormente, al reconocimiento de su valor como centro de dispersión y refugio para muchas especies.
