Subject
Immovable Culture Heritage
Description
The Honghe Hani Rice Terraces, located in Yunnan Province, China, are a spectacular
landscape meticulously carved by the Hani people over more than 1300 years. These
terraces sprawl across the slopes of the Ailao Mountains, covering an area of 17,000
hectares. In 2013, this unique agricultural cultural landscape was recognized as a
UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, serving as a model of harmonious coexistence
between humans and nature.
The presence and sustainable development of the Terraces are of great significance
for achieving the SDGs. They not only contribute to ecosystem and biodiversity
conservation (SDG 15) but also directly relate to achieving zero hunger and food
security (SDG 2) and ensuring sustainable management of water resources and
sanitation facilities (SDG 6).
