Endemic Species that include the WHS name

Connected Sites: 10

Species whose endemic area is related to that of a WHS via a shared name Excluding Birds which have their own "endemism" connection. Including sub-species which have been recognised with a scientific name. Including species whose scientific name relates to a specific location INSIDE the WHS boundary. To avoid multiple "local naming" of the same species across many places without any "scientific recognition" the "local name" must have a reputable reference. Excluding WHS which include the name of a very large area, country or region and thus have many species which include the place name e.g Central Amazon Conservation Complex and the many species whose name includes the word "amazon". Such species may or may not be truly "endemic" to the specific inscribed area.
