"The Ngorongoro Conservation Area spans vast expanses of highland plains,
savanna, savanna woodlands and forests. Established in 1959 as a
multiple land use area, with wildlife coexisting with semi-nomadic
Maasai pastoralists practicing traditional livestock grazing, it
includes the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest caldera.
The property has global importance for biodiversity conservation due to
the presence of globally threatened species, the density of wildlife
inhabiting the area, and the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra,
gazelles and other animals into the northern plains. Extensive
archaeological research has also yielded a long sequence of evidence of
human evolution and human-environment dynamics, including early hominid
footprints dating back 3.6 million years." -http://whc.unesco.org
