梵净山

梵净山位于贵州省武陵山脉(中国西南部)，海拔500米至2570米，植被类型多样，地势起伏较大。它是喀斯特海中的一个变质岩岛，有许多植物和动物物种，起源于6500万至200万年前的第三纪。该遗址的隔离导致了高度的生物多样性，特有物种包括梵净山冷杉和贵州金丝猴，濒危物种包括中国大鲵、林麝和长尾雉。梵净山拥有亚热带地区最大、最毗连的原始山毛榉林。

Located within the Wuling mountain range in Guizhou Province (south-west China), Fanjingshan ranges in altitude between 500 metres and 2,570 metres above sea level, favouring highly diverse types of vegetation and relief. It is an island of metamorphic rock in a sea of karst, home to many plant and animal species which originated in the Tertiary period, between 65 million and 2 million years ago. The site’s isolation has led to a high degree of biodiversity with endemic species, such as the Fanjingshan Fir (Abies fanjingshanensis) and the Guizhou Snub-nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi), and endangered species, such as the Chinese Giant Salamander (Andrias davidianus), the Forest Musk Deer (Moschus berezovskii) and Reeve’s Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii). Fanjingshan has the largest and most contiguous primeval beech forest in the subtropical region.
