Nestled in the heart of Alberta’s badlands, Dinosaur Provincial Park is home to one of the richest dinosaur fossil sites in the world. In recognition of the exceptional abundance and diversity of dinosaur and other vertebrate fossils, the largest and most spectacular area of badlands in Canada, and the unique riparian (riverside) habitat, this special places was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Over 500 different species of life from tiny fern spores to frog and birds have been recorded, including 58 dinosaur species.
