Tanzania: Ngorongoro Conservation Area is now a Cultural World Heritage Site

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee inscribed the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania as a cultural property on the World Heritage List (34th session of the Committee, Brazil 07/2010). The Conservation Area got inscribed because of the "extraordinary record of human evolution" at the site. The NCA spans from the well-known Serengeti National Park in the north-west of Tanzania to the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley.
