39 TZ - Ngorongoro Conservation Area (1979)

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.

173 TZ - Stone Town of Zanzibar (2000)

Brief Description

"The Stone Town of Zanzibar is a fine example of the Swahili coastal trading towns of East Africa. It retains its urban fabric and townscape virtually intact and contains many fine buildings that reflect its particular culture, which has brought together and homogenized disparate elements of the cultures of Africa, the Arab region, India, and Europe over more than a millennium."

桑给巴尔石头城

"在东非斯瓦希里沿岸的贸易城镇中,桑给巴尔石头镇是一个典型代表。它的城市结构和景观至今未变,包括许多反映它独特文化的精美建筑。这些建筑已有了上千年的历史,它们被建造在一起,从而使非洲、阿拉伯、印度、欧洲这些风格迥异的文化因素融为一体。"
