肯尼亚东非大裂谷的湖泊系统

肯尼亚东非大裂谷的湖泊系统地区是世界上鸟类种类最为丰富的地区之一，其中有13种鸟类是濒危物种。这里不仅是小火烈鸟最重要的觅食之所，也是白鹈鹕筑巢和繁殖基地。景区内还生活着大量的大型哺乳动物，如黑犀牛、罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿、扭角林羚、狮子、猎豹和野狗等，对研究重大生态过程具有重要价值。

The Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley , a natural property of outstanding beauty, comprises three inter-linked relatively shallow lakes (Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita) in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya and covers a total area of 32,034 hectares. The property is home to 13 globally threatened bird species and some of the highest bird diversities in the world. It is the single most important foraging site for the lesser flamingo anywhere, and a major nesting and breeding ground for great white pelicans. The property features sizeable mammal populations, including black rhino, Rothschild's giraffe, greater kudu, lion, cheetah and wild dogs and is valuable for the study of ecological processes of major importance.
