Often called the "Cradle of Mankind," it hosts significant archaeological sites with fossils and artifacts that trace early human evolution. The surrounding harsh volcanic landscape, coupled with its role as a vital habitat for migratory birds and rare species, underscores its global scientific and ecological value.
