The Great Vasyugan Mire-world heritage object
The Great Vasyugan Mire-world heritage object
First of all, it is a natural phenomenon that has no analogues in the world. Besides, it is the object of UNESCO world heritage. Located in Western Siberia, between the rivers Ob and Irtysh, it is in the Tomsk, Novosibirsk and Omsk regions. In fact, wetlands area – 53 thousand square kilometers (ie marshes occupy a larger area than Slovakia, Denmark and Switzerland put together) and is constantly growing. In addition, it is home to many species of animals and birds, including such rare in our time, as reindeer, a golden eagle, white-tailed eagle, osprey, gray shrike, and peregrine falcon. As well as sable and mink, otter and wolverine. And, of course, a huge number of wild cranberries, blueberries and cloudberries.
After all, here, under the water surface, there are huge reserves of peat (about 2% of the world), and peat is a kind of natural filter for the atmosphere of our planet. It connects the free carbon, thus reducing the volume of generating carbon dioxide.
Both Russian and the World Heritage Lists do not contain similar objects. Most mineral trophy swamps boreal landscapes of the northern hemisphere still found in their natural state within the Great Vasyugan mire, are transformed due to human economic activity. Many nominations include peat bogs, but they do not have principal significance in determining outstanding world value of these objects.
