Discover Ngorongoro Crater National Park
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) was once a part
of the Serengeti National Park, which was established under the National Park
Ordinance of 1948 and implemented in 1951 for the purpose of preserving its
natural geographical and ecological make-up. In 1959, the two National Parks
were split into two designated Protected Areas, with varied outstanding
universal values and conservational statuses.
As one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders, NCA was
universally recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage in 1979 under the natural and
cultural criteria owing to its global importance for biodiversity conservation
having demonstrated by the existence of globally threatened species, the
density of wildlife inhabiting the area, and the annual migration of
wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and other wild animals into the northern plains.
Its cultural recognition stemming from an exceptionally long sequence of
crucial evidence related to human evolution and human-environment dynamics. Due
to its exceptionally long sequence of this crucial evidence, spanning nearly
four million years to the beginning of this era, including physical evidence of
the most important benchmark in human evolutionary development, NCA’s global
identity is fairly justified.
At its inception, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area was
primarily established as a multi-land use area, where wildlife could co-exist
with the most dominant semi-nomadic Maasai residents, who always move from one
place to another in search of water and pasture for their livestock.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area is in northern Tanzania. It’s
home to the vast, volcanic Ngorongoro Crater and “big 5” game (elephant, lion,
leopard, buffalo, rhino).
