| Lake Malawi National Park is a national park at the southern end of Lake Malawi in Malawi, Southeast Africa. | WIKI |
| Despite this being its main purpose, Lake Malawi National Park includes a fair amount of land, including a headland, the foreshore and several small rocky islands in Lake Malawi. | WIKI |
| Lake Malawi National Park was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, being of "global importance for biodiversity conservation due particularly to its fish diversity." | WIKI |
| Other attributes of the park include the outstanding natural beauty of the area with its craggy landscape contrasting with the clear waters of the lake. | WIKI |
| Lake Malawi is in the Great Rift Valley. | WIKI |
| The lake is 500xc2xa0m (1,640xc2xa0ft) above sea level and, with a depth of 700xc2xa0m (2,300xc2xa0ft) in places, is one of the deepest lakes in the world. | WIKI |
| [1] Lake Malawi National Park consists of approximately 95xc2xa0km2 (37xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi) of land and water at the southern end of the lake. | WIKI |
| The park includes most of the Nankumbu Peninsula, a mountainous headland that projects northwards into the lake terminating in Cape Maclear, the surrounding areas of water (aquatic zone of the property extends for just 100 metres from the lake shore and covers just 0.02% of the lakexe2x80x99s total area), Mwenya Hills, Nkhudzi Hills, Nkhudzi Spit, and 13 islands: Otter, Domwe, Thumbi West, Mumbo, Zimbawe, Thumbi East, Mpanda, Boadzulu, Chinyankhwazi Rock, Chinyamwezi Rock, Nankoma, Maleri, Nakantenga. | WIKI |
| Lake Malawi National Park was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. | WIKI |
| The criteria under which it qualifies are: Criterion (vii), the natural beauty of the lake beneath the escarpment of the Great African Rift Valley; Criterion (ix), the importance of the lake because of the adaptive radiation and speciation that has taken place there among the cichlid fish population, over 350 species of which are present in the park, almost all of them endemic; and Criterion (x), the global importance of the park for the conservation of biodiversity, both for its freshwater fish populations (perhaps 1000 species) and for the variety of other animal life including birds, mammals and reptiles. | WIKI |
| Lake Malawi was formed several million years ago, and the water level has fluctuated greatly over the millennia. | WIKI |
| Various estimates have been made as to how many species of cichlid there are in Lake Malawi, with 700 being an acceptable estimate. | WIKI |
| Dr. David Livingstone was the first European to see Lake Nyassa, as it was then called, in 1859, and by 1875 the Scottish Presbyterian Church had set up a mission on Cape Maclear. | WIKI |
| Located at the southern end of the great expanse of Lake Malawi, the property is of global importance for biodiversity conservation due particularly to its fish diversity. | UNESCO |
| Lying within the Western Rift Valley, Lake Malawi is one of the deepest lakes in the world. | UNESCO |
| The property is an area of exceptional natural beauty with the rugged landscapes around it contrasting with the remarkably clear waters of the lake. | UNESCO |
| The property is home to many hundreds of cichlid fish, nearly all of which are endemic to Lake Malawi, and are known locally as "mbuna". | UNESCO |
| Due to the isolation of Lake Malawi from other water bodies, its fish have developed impressive adaptive radiation and speciation, and are an outstanding example of the ecological processes. | UNESCO |
| All but five of over 350 species of mbuna are endemic to Lake Malawi and represented in the park. | UNESCO |
| Lake Malawi's cichlids are considered of equal value to science as the finches of the Galapagos Islands remarked on by Charles Darwin or the honeycreepers of Hawaii. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (x): Lake Malawi is globally important for biodiversity conservation due to its outstanding diversity of its fresh water fishes. | UNESCO |
| The property is considered to be a separate bio-geographical province with estimates of up to c.1000 species of fish half occurring within the property: estimated as the largest number of fish species of any lake in the world. | UNESCO |
| The lake contains 30% of all known cichlidsxc2xa0species in the world. | UNESCO |
| The property is sufficiently large (94.1 km2 of which 7km2 is aquatic zone) to adequately represent the water features and processes that are of importance for long term conservation of the lake's rich biodiversity and exceptional natural beauty. | UNESCO |
| The water area within the national park protects the most important elements of the lake's biodiversity. | UNESCO |
| Many other fish species of Lake Malawi are however unprotected due to the limited size of the park in relation to the overall area of the lake. | UNESCO |
| The property's long term integrity largely depends on the overall conservation and management of the lake which falls under the jurisdiction of three sovereign states i.e. | UNESCO |
| Lake Malawi National Park is protected under national legislation and the resources of the park are managed and controlled by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife. | UNESCO |
| Thus a key management priority is the maintenance of the lake ecosystem while taking into consideration the needs of the local community through collaborative management programmes. | UNESCO |
| Collaboration with the governments of Tanzania and Mozambique needs to be maintained and strengthened for the long term protection and management of the entire lake ecosystem, and consideration of the potential for its extension is required. | UNESCO |
