世界遗产委员会评价:
卢斯阿莱尔塞斯(Los
Alerces)国家公园位于巴塔哥尼亚(Patagonia)北部的安地斯山脉,其西方边界与智利边界重迭。连续的冰川作用塑造了该地区的外貌,并创造出冰碛石、冰斗等壮丽的奇特景观与清澈湖水。该处的植披主要为茂密的温带森林,邻近高耸多岩的安地斯山峰下则逐渐由高山草地取代。为了保护巴塔哥尼亚森林仅存未受外界污染的连续区块,该遗产扮演了至关重要的角色。此外,森林内也栖息了若干受到威胁的当地特有动植物物种。 The Los
Alerces National Park is located in the Andes of northern Patagonia
and its western boundary coincides with the Chilean border.
Successive glaciations have moulded the landscape in the region
creating spectacular features such as moraines, glacial cirques and
clear-water lakes. The vegetation is dominated by dense temperate
forests, which give way to alpine meadows higher up under the rocky
Andean peaks. A highly distinctive and emblematic feature is its
alerce forest; the globally threatened Alerce tree is the second
longest living tree species in the world (>3,600 years). The
Alerce forest in the property is in an excellent state of
conservation. The property is vital for the protection of some of
the last portions of continuous Patagonian Forest in an almost
pristine state and is the habitat for a number of endemic and
threatened species of flora and fauna.
