Apatani Cultural Landscape
The Apatani Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Tentative Site encompassing the Ziro Valley in Lower Subansiri District, Arunachal Pradesh. It represents the sustainable land-use system developed by the Apatani tribe over centuries, integrating wet rice cultivation with pisciculture, bamboo and pine forest management, and clustered villages. Notable for engineered irrigation channels, elevated bamboo houses and preserved tribal traditions, it demonstrates harmonious human-nature coexistence in the Eastern Himalayas.
