The area is an important \u2018natural history laboratory\u2019 that may increase our knowledge of how landscapes are formed, and about the consequences of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>The many varied landscape formations show how rivers and glaciers shaped the fjord landscape. During the Tertiary Period 2.5\u201355 million years ago, the land was raised to form a high mountain massif. Rivers excavated deep V-shaped valleys before the many ice ages of the Quarternary Period rounded them into steep-sided U-shapes. But the fjord landscape has not yet fully evolved; this is a young, live and constantly changing landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Every winter, local people prepare themselves for major avalanches. The rest of the year, rockfalls and landslides are part of everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:60px;--awb-padding-right:50px;--awb-padding-bottom:40px;--awb-padding-left:50px;--awb-bg-color:#eceae9;--awb-bg-color-hover:#eceae9;--awb-bg-position:center center;--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 0 ) * 0.5 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-4 hover-type-none\" class=\"image-magnify\" class=\"image-scroll\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Rockfall in N\u00e6r\u00f8ydal valley\" title=\"Rockfall in N\u00e6r\u00f8ydal valley\" src=\"http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1E-skred.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1198\" srcset=\"http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1E-skred-200x164.jpg 200w, http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1E-skred-400x328.jpg 400w, http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1E-skred-600x492.jpg 600w, http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1E-skred.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10 fotocred\"><p>Photo Marunn Hylland<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-6 sectionwidth nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling fusion-equal-height-columns\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-right:60px;--awb-padding-left:60px;--awb-margin-bottom:60px;--awb-background-color:#ffffff;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:60px;--awb-padding-right:50px;--awb-padding-bottom:40px;--awb-padding-left:50px;--awb-bg-color:#eceae9;--awb-bg-color-hover:#eceae9;--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 0 ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Man-made cultural landscapes and environments<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-11\"><p>People have made use of this landscape ever since the ice retreated around 10 000 years ago. Trapping pits and archery positions tell us that wild reindeer were important to the local population as far back as the Stone Age. There are shoreside farms as well as smallholdings perched on high crags above the fjord. People who settled here were subsistence farmers who adjusted to the natural hazards around them and harvested from nature by fishing, hunting and foraging.<\/p>\n<p>Today, many smallholders have given up farming due to poor economic prospects. This means less grazing livestock. If this trend continues, the cultural landscape will become overgrown and some of our cultural history will be lost. Many local farmers receive support to continue farming and prevent fields from becoming overgrown. An active cultural landscape with grazing livestock helps us understand how everything connects. Preserving traditional dairy farming will enable later generations to experience the living cultural landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the action plan for the cultural landscapes of the World Heritage site on the <a class=\"linku\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fylkesmannen.no\/contentassets\/cd7e35fb76114017a8c1e9109d0dc721\/tiltaksplan-for-kulturlandskapet-i-verdsarvomrada.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">County Governor\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-10 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:60px;--awb-padding-right:50px;--awb-padding-bottom:40px;--awb-padding-left:50px;--awb-bg-color:#eceae9;--awb-bg-color-hover:#eceae9;--awb-bg-position:center center;--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 0 ) * 0.5 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-5 hover-type-none\" class=\"image-magnify\" class=\"image-scroll\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Herdalss\u00e6tra farmstead at Norddal\" title=\"Herdalss\u00e6tra farmstead at Norddal\" src=\"http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1F-herdalssetra.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1F-herdalssetra-200x164.jpg 200w, http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1F-herdalssetra-400x328.jpg 400w, http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1F-herdalssetra-600x492.jpg 600w, http:\/\/prod2.hjelmeweb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1F-herdalssetra.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12 fotocred\"><p>Photo Per Eide<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-7 sectionwidth nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling fusion-equal-height-columns\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-right:60px;--awb-padding-left:60px;--awb-margin-bottom:60px;--awb-background-color:#ffffff;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:60px;--awb-padding-right:50px;--awb-padding-bottom:40px;--awb-padding-left:50px;--awb-bg-color:#eceae9;--awb-bg-color-hover:#eceae9;--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 0 ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Wildlife<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13\"><p>Because the West Norwegian Fjords form a crossing point between climatic zones, the area is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, with a multitude of wildflowers, fish, birds, insects and animals.

Rough pastures provide a habitat for rare plants that rely on grazing and hay-making to survive. Norway has a management responsibility for species such as wild reindeer, the Arctic fox, lynx, otter, lemming, the white-backed woodpecker and the harbour porpoise.

This status directs attention to values we need to protect for the future. The flora and fauna of the mountain and fjord landscapes are particularly rich. Cultural landscapes and traces of past lives have added value to the natural landscape. Besides, Geirangerfjord and N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord are among the few fjords that remain unaffected by major hydropower developments. All rivers run unimpeded down to the fjord. Landscape protection ensures that this will continue to be the case.<\/p>\n<p>Protection restricts our freedom to impact on nature. The aim is not to make things difficult for people, but to prevent the loss of important natural values. Some areas are particularly valuable and have been designated as nature reserves. Here, strict rules apply for travel and intervention. We need unspoilt nature. Norway\u2019s only natural heritage site on Unesco\u2019s World Heritage List seems a good candidate for introducing the required safeguards.<\/p>\n<\/div><button class=\"expand-btn\"

key role in the formation of the fjord landscape, and they continue to erode the bedrock and moraines. Their impact shows us the enormity of nature\u2019s forces. Man has put some of these forces to use, for instance through hydropower projects. Such schemes involve laying pipelines, flooding large areas and building enormous dams, all of which changes the geological landscape. Hydropower proposals within the World Heritage property are therefore highly contentious and could well threaten the status awarded by Unesco.<\/p>\n<p>The West Norwegian Fjords and buffer zones include several river systems that are protected against development. This has sometimes been achieved through fierce campaigning, which has been taxing on small village communities. But the protection of river systems has been important for preserving unspoilt areas, and may well have been essential for the area\u2019s World Heritage nomination.<\/p>\n<\/div><button
