n 1997 Mt. Kenya, a mountain region in Central Kenya, received World Heritage status. The designation of the area as a World Heritage Site rested entirely on natural scientific arguments. Among other things, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee lauded Mt. Kenya’s glacier-clad summits; it glorified its Afro-alpine moorlands and diverse forests; and it proclaimed the entire area as one of the most impressive landscapes of East Africa.
