In 1996, the UN body UNESCO designated Laponia as a World Heritage site.
“The area is an outstanding example of how the Earth has developed, particularly geologically, and how ecological and biological changes continue today. Here you can find exceptional natural phenomena of extraordinary beauty as well as significant natural sites for biodiversity. The area, which has been inhabited by the Sami people since prehistoric times, is one of the best-preserved examples of nomadic regions in northern Scandinavia. It contains settlements and grazing lands for large reindeer herds, a practice that dates back to an early stage in human economic and social development.”
