 International significance

 Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park is inscribed on the World Heritage List under the World Heritage Convention for its outstanding cultural and natural values. At the time of preparing this plan, the park is one of only 38 sites that are listed under the World Heritage Convention for both cultural and natural values. Appendix C to this plan summarises the park's listing against the World Heritage criteria.

 The independent International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), which assessed the cultural values of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park for the World Heritage Council, gave international recognition of:
   •      Tjukurpa as a religious philosophy linking Aṉangu to their environment

   •      Aṉangu culture as an integral part of the landscape

   •      Aṉangu understanding of and interaction with the landscape.

 In 1995 the Director and the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Board of Management were awarded the Picasso Gold Medal, the highest award given by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), for outstanding efforts to preserve the landscape and Aṉangu culture and for setting new international standards for World Heritage management.

 Numerous migratory species that occur in Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park are protected under international agreements such as the Bonn Convention for conserving migratory species, and Australia's migratory bird protection agreements with China (CAMBA), Japan (JAMBA) and Korea (ROKAMBA). Appendix I outlines the EPBC Act listed migratory species that occur in the park.
