This criterion includes the following elements:
(1) ecosystems and eco-regions,
(2) systemic,
(3) scalar impacts,
(4) geography,
(5) demonstration value
Indicators include:
Geography: Be located within easy access in different continents, at least for learning and demonstration effects
Eco-regions & Ecosystems: Represent different major eco-regions and ecosystem types (mountains, tropics, dry lands, coastal zones, etc.)
Systemic: Represent major agricultural production systems (livestock, crops, fish, forest-based), ranging from sedentary (e.g. terraces, oases) to highly mobile systems (e.g. mobility of people and resource use in flood recession, transhumance, altitudinal migrations), used in eco-regions by large numbers of people
Scalar Impacts: Possess the potential of extensive impacts in terms of surface area and/or beneficiaries, for the replication or dissemination of experience and lessons learnt, the transfer of knowledge or technology, the learning of unique adaptations to specific constraints, and the contribution to diversity (worth preserving, value of uniqueness, global heritage for preservation, potential lessons for the future)
Demonstration Effect: Demonstrate its conservation and heritage value to society as a whole
Outstanding Examples: Be outstanding examples of specific systems across agro-ecological zones (AEZ), biomes, mountain ranges, rangelands and water types, ranging from the sedentary (e.g. terraced farming) to the highly mobile (e.g. transhumance).
