The UNESCO listing is for two separate areas where fossils from the Cainozoic era have been found, Riversleigh in Queensland and Naracoorte in South Australia. Riversleigh and Naracoorte are considered to be among the world’s 10 greatest fossil sites and both locations are notable for the extreme diversity and quality of preservation of their fossils, which illustrate the evolution of mammals in Australia over the last 20 million years and demonstrate how marsupials adapted to climate changes over the last 170,000 years[1].
The Australian Fossil Mammal Sites (Riversleigh/Naracoorte) was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994 for its outstanding universal value, and was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 21 May 2007, as a collective area of outstanding value for Australia. The National Heritage List protects, commemorates and celebrates places that have outstanding Indigenous, natural or historic values of national significance. Heritage values can include the physical elements of a site as well as the stories, people or events connected to a place. Once added to the National Heritage List, a place’s outstanding national heritage values are protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999[2]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jorobin (talk • contribs) 05:31, 14 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
