Abstract： The Renzidong Site and its surrounding fossl localities preserve a continuous sequence of Late Cenozoic cave-fissure deposits and a rich Late Cenozoic mammalian fauna，and stand as a precious geological natural heritage that records the evolution of Earth's history and biological processes. As an outstanding achievement of the National “Ninth Five-Year Plan” Climbing Program， the site has also unearthed the oldest known Paleolithic cultural remains （including stone artifacts and bone artifacts）in Eurasia. This major discovery has significantly enhanced the comprehensive value and uniqueness of the site. This paper focuses on the natural heritage value centered on the mammalian fauna at this site. Research indicates that the continuous stratigraphy and mammalian fossil assemblages hold extremely high scientific research value in Quaternary paleo mammalogy， biostratigraphy，and paleoenvironmental reconstruction； multiple complete paleontological fossil skeletons and well-preserved cave systems provide an irreplaceable popular science carrier for public educationvon Earth’s history and biological evolution， endowing the site with outstanding scientific popularization and cultural tourism value; the early human cultural remains associated with the site offer key evidence for understanding the environmental context of ancient human survival and their interaction with biological evolution，and serve as a core element underpinning the uniqueness and comprehensiveness of its natural heritage value.Furthermore，immersive cultural tourism experiences designed based on the core scientific value constitute an important approach to activating heritage resources and promoting sustainable conservation and local development. This paper also discusses the discovery and research history of this natural heritage，and emphasizes that science education initiatives and science-guided tourism development are key strategies for achieving the sustainable management of the site and exerting its social and economic benefits， which are of great significance for boosting local economic development and realizingthe sustainablemanagementofnatural heritage.
