UNEP-WCMC and IUCN, with support from UNESCO, compile information sheets for all properties inscribed on the World Heritage List for natural or mixed (natural and cultural) reasons.

The latest available sheets are published on this webpage.
The below file includes information sheets for all 217 natural and mixed properties inscribed on the World Heritage List as of March 2013 (see list below).
