拉夫诺的岩溶风洞

拉夫诺（Ravno）的岩溶风洞位于迪纳拉山脉，以出众的洞穴生物多样性和特有性而闻名于世。这里自古便为人所知，其喀斯特地貌保存完好，是世界最重要的穴居动物（尤其地下水生动物）多样性热点地区之一。洞中栖居着许多在世界范围受到生存威胁的脊椎动物、全球唯一的地下管虫，以及多种巴尔干地区特有的植物。此外，洞穴中发现的一些物种是第三纪和前第三纪的孑遗物种，其中许多物种的近亲早已在很久以前灭绝，因此可称为活化石。

Located in the Dinaric mountain range, the property stands out with its remarkable cave biodiversity and endemicity. Known since antiquity, the well-conserved representation of karst topography is one of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots for cave-dwelling fauna, notably subterranean aquatic fauna. It is home to a number of globally threatened vertebrate species, and the only subterranean tubeworm in the world, as well as a diversity of plant species endemic to the Balkans. Additionally, several of the species found in Vjetrenica Cave are tertiary and pre-tertiary relict species, meaning that many of them can be considered living fossils whose closest relatives went extinct a long time ago.
