    The importance of the park's cultural landscape is recognised through the inscription of its cultural and natural values on the World Heritage List and on the Australian Government's Commonwealth and National Heritage Lists. The World Heritage values of the park are described in Appendix C; its National Heritage values in Appendix D; and its Commonwealth Heritage values in Appendix E. The park is also significant regionally, nationally and internationally in terms of conservation, social and economic considerations
    (see Appendix K).

    Table 1 shows the park's Values Statement, which summarises the attributes that are fundamental to the park's purpose and significance. Identifying and recognising these values ensures a shared understanding about what is most important about the park, and helps to focus management and planning processes. If the values are allowed to decline, the park's purpose and significance would be jeopardised. The foundation for managing these values includes the protection provided by the EPBC Act and EPBC Regulations. For more detail on protecting and enriching the park's values, see Chapter 3 Caring for culture and country.

       Background

       Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park is jointly managed park by the park's traditional Aboriginal owners and the Director of National Parks. Tjukurpa (law) is the foundation of Aṉangu life, and the park is managed using traditional methods governed by Tjukurpa combined with western science and management practices. The park's first priority is conserving the significant natural and cultural values of the area that comprise Tjukurpa.
