Natural Monument
A Natural Monument is a protected area that preserves specific natural features, such as unique geological formations, rare ecosystems, or significant wildlife habitats. These sites are designated to maintain their ecological integrity and to promote conservation efforts. Examples of natural monuments include distinctive rock formations, ancient trees, or unique landscapes that hold cultural or scientific value.
Natural monuments are often part of larger conservation efforts and can be found in national parks or reserves. They serve as important locations for research, education, and recreation, allowing people to appreciate and learn about the natural world. Examples include the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland and the Devils Tower in Wyoming.
