Notes
Extension of the "Glacier Bay/Wrangell/St Elias/Kluane" property.
In 1979, the Committee decided to inscribe the Ohrid Lake on the World Heritage List under natural criteria (iii). In 1980, this property was extended to include the cultural and historical area, and cultural criteria (i)(iii)(iv) were added.
(renomination under cultural criteria)
The "Burgess Shale" property, which was previously inscribed on the World Heritage List, is part of the "Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks".
Renomination of "Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park" under cultural criteria.
The Westland and Mount Cook National Park and the Fiordland National Park, which were previously inscribed on the World Heritage List, are part of the "Te Wahipounamu - South West New Zealand".
Extension of "Gough Island Wildlife Reserve".
At the time the property was extended, natural criterion (iv) was also found applicable.
#: As for 19 Natural and Mixed Properties inscribed for geological values before 1994, criteria numbering of this property has changed. See Decision 30.COM 8D.1
