Getbol, the Korean Tidal Flats support exceptionally rich biodiversity, and provide a vital stopover for millions of waterbirds on their lengthy migratory journeys.
Recognizing their value, the World Heritage Committee officially added Getbol to UNESCO s list of World Heritage Sites at its 44th session late Monday in Fuzhou, China.
The Getbol are comprised of four southwestern tidal flats spanning five municipal regions in South Korea the Seocheon Getbol, Gochang Getbol, Sinan Getbol, and Boseong-Suncheon Getbol.
Considered to be the most spectacular intertidal wetlands in the world, experts say it s especially significant to protect these areas as they provide a place to stay for migratory waterbirds in eastern Asia, many of which are globally threatened by habitat loss along their migratory pathways.
