The mountain is noted for hosting nearly 2,000 plant species, many of which are endemic, along with rare wildlife. This designation increases Greece’s total number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites to 21, including three mixed properties. Greek officials expressed enthusiasm, viewing the recognition as a boost for conservation and international awareness of the site.
