WEBVTT 1 00:00:13.696 --> 00:00:17.280 In this section follow up to the previous section. 2 00:00:17.792 --> 00:00:21.696 I'm going to talk about civil example of cultural landscape. 3 00:00:22.208 --> 00:00:24.512 Well, the first example I would like 4 00:00:24.768 --> 00:00:29.376 to talk about is Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia. 5 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.688 It is listed as a mixed site at 1987, 6 00:00:35.072 --> 00:00:44.416 and then change to the cultural landscape site in 1994 based on the criteria 5, 6, 7, and 8. 7 00:00:45.696 --> 00:00:51.136 So the Uluru-Kata Tjuta, this part formerly called Uluru National Park. 8 00:00:51.456 --> 00:00:54.720 features spectacular geological formations 9 00:00:55.104 --> 00:01:00.608 that dominate the vast red sandy plain of central Australia. 10 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:10.080 Uluru, an immense monolith, and Kata Tjuta, the rock domes located west of Uluru, 11 00:01:10.912 --> 00:01:16.928 form part of the traditional belief system of one of the oldest human societies in the world. 12 00:01:17.376 --> 00:01:23.648 The traditional owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta are the Anangu Aboriginal people. 13 00:01:24.288 --> 00:01:29.792 The park was first added to the list in 1987, 14 00:01:30.176 --> 00:01:37.152 when the international community recognised its spectacular geological formations, 15 00:01:37.408 --> 00:01:40.736 rare plants and animals, and outstanding natural beauty. 16 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:46.752 In 1994, UNESCO also recognised the park’s cultural landscape 17 00:01:47.072 --> 00:01:51.000 the unique relationship between the natural environment 18 00:01:51.035 --> 00:01:55.835 and the belief system of Anangu, one of the oldest societies on earth. 19 00:01:56.667 --> 00:02:03.259 The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is one of only a few dozen places in the world 20 00:02:03.451 --> 00:02:10.683 to have received a dual World Heritage listing (and one of only four in Australia). 21 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.635 Which means it is not only a mixed property，but also the nature landscape. 22 00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:20.283 The Parks Australia has a responsibility to 23 00:02:20.603 --> 00:02:25.595 protect the park’s World Heritage values for the benefit of everyone. 24 00:02:25.850 --> 00:02:29.179 We work with Anangu to do this, 25 00:02:29.691 --> 00:02:35.323 using a combination of traditional knowledge and modern science to care for country. 26 00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:41.290 The park’s rock art sites have many Ayers of pictures, 27 00:02:41.290 --> 00:02:45.706 symbols and figures painted on top of each other. 28 00:02:46.026 --> 00:02:54.125 This is because the same sites have been used in Anangu education for ten thousands of years 29 00:02:54.125 --> 00:03:03.743 The rock surfaces are like a classroom blackboard that a teacher has used to illustrate a lesson, 30 00:03:03.786 --> 00:03:12.042 and only those who attend the class can fully undertand the notes left behind. 31 00:03:12.490 --> 00:03:16.275 Anangu rarely create new rock art now. 32 00:03:16.275 --> 00:03:22.025 However, they still use the old rock art and sand drawings (along with paintings on canvas) 33 00:03:22.025 --> 00:03:27.721 to teach creation stories and ensure the continuation of knowledge. 34 00:03:28.225 --> 00:03:35.200 people are believed to have lived in the Uluru region for at least 30,000 years. 35 00:03:35.529 --> 00:03:43.721 The rock art is an important historical and scientific record of human occupation in this area. 36 00:03:45.425 --> 00:03:52.361 So Uluru-Kata Tjuta is an outstanding example of a traditional human type of settlement 37 00:03:52.681 --> 00:03:56.329 and land-use, namely hunting and gathering, 38 00:03:56.649 --> 00:04:01.961 that dominated the entire Australian continent up to modern times; 39 00:04:02.217 --> 00:04:06.185 shows the interactions between humans and their environment; 40 00:04:06.633 --> 00:04:10.921 It is in large part the outcome of millenia of management 41 00:04:11.175 --> 00:04:17.150 using traditional Anangu methods governed 42 00:04:18.046 --> 00:04:21.758 You can see from the sign that because of this 43 00:04:22.014 --> 00:04:26.686 this part is management by the original peoples and also the government. 44 00:04:26.942 --> 00:04:28.926 So these signs means that 45 00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:33.534 because there's some special meanings for local peoples 46 00:04:33.854 --> 00:04:36.542 they don't want the tourists to take photos. 47 00:04:36.798 --> 00:04:38.821 So there is a sign 48 00:04:38.821 --> 00:04:38.846 the people used to climb up to the Ayers Rock 49 00:04:38.846 --> 00:04:43.225 the people used to climb up to theAyers Rock Ayers Rock 50 00:04:43.225 --> 00:04:47.257 because it is a tremendous is the biggest rock in the world 51 00:04:47.641 --> 00:04:52.825 to have the good views about Australia desert. 52 00:04:53.145 --> 00:04:59.289 But now it is forbidden because the rock is very secret for the local people. 53 00:04:59.545 --> 00:05:03.449 So tourists should be respect to their culture. 54 00:05:04.089 --> 00:05:08.825 It is one of relatively few places in Australia 55 00:05:09.145 --> 00:05:16.953 where landscapes are actively managed by Aboriginal communities on a substantial scale 56 00:05:16.953 --> 00:05:20.729 using traditional practices and knowledge that include: 57 00:05:21.241 --> 00:05:25.657 particular types of social organisation, ceremonies 58 00:05:25.849 --> 00:05:35.833 rituals which form an adaptation to the fragile and unpredictable ecosystems of the arid landscape 59 00:05:35.833 --> 00:05:41.888 detailed systems of ecological knowledge that closely parallel, 60 00:05:41.888 --> 00:05:45.945 yet differ from, the Western scientific classification; 61 00:05:45.945 --> 00:05:53.113 And management techniques to conserve biodiversity such as the use of fire 62 00:05:53.113 --> 00:06:00.450 and the creation and maintenance of water sources such as wells and rockholes. 63 00:06:01.950 --> 00:06:07.850 Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is directly and tangibly 64 00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:14.861 associated with events, living traditions, ideas and beliefs of outstanding universal significance. 65 00:06:15.053 --> 00:06:16.717 The World Heritage values include: 66 00:06:16.973 --> 00:06:22.000 the continuing cultural landscape of Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park 67 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.237 which is imbued with the values of creative powers of cultural history 68 00:06:28.493 --> 00:06:32.199 throughthe phenomenon of sacred sites; 69 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:37.875 the associated powerful religious, artistic and cultural qualities of this cultural landscape; 70 00:06:37.875 --> 00:06:42.467 and the network of ancestral tracks established 71 00:06:42.659 --> 00:06:51.299 during the Tjukurpa in which Uluru and Kata Tjuta are meeting points. 72 00:06:52.700 --> 00:06:57.850 Well, there were because I have been there in two thousand and sixteen. 73 00:06:57.850 --> 00:07:02.425 So there are several things I recommend you to do during your visit. 74 00:07:02.425 --> 00:07:05.123 First there is some artists, 75 00:07:05.123 --> 00:07:10.819 the design some nice you're here you can see from the night here 76 00:07:11.075 --> 00:07:15.600 and also the skies, the sky is nice 77 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.087 So it's fabulous. 78 00:07:18.087 --> 00:07:24.925 and also, as I said before, now if you want to take a look at the Uluru, 79 00:07:24.925 --> 00:07:31.235 you need to take a circle around the the rock.
