Lake Turkana National Parks
(1997, 2001)
Kenya

The most saline of Africa's large lakes, Turkana is an outstanding laboratory
for the study of plant and animal communities. The three National Parks serve as
a stopover for migrant waterfowl and are major breeding grounds for the Nile
crocodile, hippopotamus and a variety of venomous snakes. The Koobi Fora
deposits, rich in mammalian, molluscan and other fossil remains, have
contributed more to the understanding of paleo-environments than any other site
on the continent.
