  • Nanda Devi National Park & Valley of Flowers National Park
    IN/2014/SC/65 NANDA DEVI NATIONAL PARK & VALLEY OF FLOWERS NATIONAL PARK A WORLD HERITAGE SITE NATURAL . PREFACE i PREFACE UNESCO defines the movement to preserve the cultural and natural heritage sites as “our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application. World Heritage sites belong to all the people of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located." The above thoughts shared by UNESCO are today emerging as one of the key guiding principles world over in preserving natural places like Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers. Due to the protected status these places have been able to withstand the onslaught of deforestation combined with unplanned development. But the new threat of Climate Change may undo a lot of good work done over the years. This book has been prepared to help the reader appreciate the unique outstanding universal value of this pristine landscape. The number of plants and animals given may be more than have been mentioned. This is primarily due to access to the park is very limited and survey which are done deep in the reserve are only done once in 10 years. The information given is based on those surveys. The current survey due in 2013 could not be completed due to Floods and disasters in the region and may be conducted centuries and we wish their good work carries on for future in 2015.
