"Located in Hubei Province, in central-eastern China, the site consists
of two components: Shennongding/Badong to the west and Laojunshan to the
east. It protects the largest primary forests remaining in Central
China and provides habitat for many rare animal species, such as the
Chinese Giant Salamander, the Golden or Sichuan Snub-nosed Monkey, the
Clouded Leopard, Common Leopard and the Asian Black Bear. Hubei
Shennongjia is one of three centres of biodiversity in China. The site
features prominently in the history of botanical research and was the
object of international plant collecting expeditions in the 19th and
20th centuries." -http://whc.unesco.org
