Sangay National Park ((スペイン語:Parque Nacional Sangay)) is a national park located in the Morona Santiago, Chimborazo and Tungurahua provinces of Ecuador. The park contains two active volcanoes (Tungurahua and Sangay), one extinct volcano El Altar (Kapak Urku), and ecosystems ranging from tropical rainforests to glaciers. The park has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. In 1992, it was added to the List of World Heritage in Danger due to illegal poaching, extensive grazing, unplanned road construction and encroachment of the park's perimeter. It was removed from the UNESCO list of endangered sites in 2005. The National Park is an important refuge for rare species of the Andes, like mountain tapirs and spectacled bears. Especially for the mountain tapir, the park is one of the most important strongholds.〔Downer, CC: ''The mountain tapir, endangered 'flagship' species of the high Andes ''. Oryx. Vol. 30, no. 1, pp. 45-58. 1996. (online abstract )〕 Typical species of the alpine and subalpine areas are mountain tapirs, pumas and Andean foxes. In the forests below live spectacled bears, giant otters, jaguars, ocelots, margays, Brazilian tapirs, white-tailed deer (''Odocoileus virginianus clavium''), little red brocket deer and Northern Pudus. About 300-400 bird species inhabit the Park.〔UNEP & WCMC: ''SANGAY NATIONAL PARK ECUADOR'', (letztes update 2005) (PDF )〕 File:19991102 Tung large.jpg|Eruption of the Tungurahua in 1999 File:Sangay peak.jpg|Areal view of Sangay File:Sangay2.jpg|Sangay ==See also== * Sangay 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sangay National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
