The 40th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Istanbul on Sunday decided to put China’s Hubei Shennongjia on the prestigious World Heritage List as a natural site, bringing to 50 the number of listed Chinese sites.

世界遗产委员会第四十届会议于星期日在伊斯坦布尔举行，决定将中国湖北神农架列入世界自然遗产名录，从而将中国世界遗产名录项目增加到了50个。

Shennongjia is considered as a treasure of wildlife renowned with high plant diversity, said a report by the advisory body on China.

据中国咨询机构的一份报告称，神农架被认为是一座藏有大量野生动植物的珍宝之地，它因其丰富的植物多样性而闻名。

"Shennongjia has been a place of significant scientific interest particularly for botanists and the mountains have featured prominently in the history of botanical inquiry," part of the report was cited at the meeting.

世遗会议引述了这份报告的部分内容，说道：“尤其对于植物学家来说，神农架一直是一个具有重要科学价值的地方。在植物学调查的历史上，神农架具有非常显著的地位。”

The meeting was, however, drawn its attention to the potential tourism pressure on the site, as a new airport has been built there.

但是，世遗会议的注意力也放到了神农架潜在的旅游压力之上，在神农架刚刚新建了一座机场。
