well, there's a plan by tanzania to re-nominate the ngorongoro as a cultural site (hence, a mixed site), for sure, to recognize the place for its hominid value. but the process is quite slow, it has been on the list of nominees for a succeeding session, but it's always incomplete, so due to technicality, the advisory bodies could not really evaluate the nomination.
i remember though in the "old" official world heritage website, when they have a separate list of world heritage sites as classified based on tropical forests, urban heritage, paleontological and fossil sites, hominid sites, etc. that ngorongoro, despite indeed being officially a natural sites, is part of the hominid sites listing. |
