Earthprints: Lake Nakuru


Lake Nakuru, in the Lake Nakuru National Park, is home to some of the world's most majestic wildlife including lions, rhinos, zebras and flamingos.
The scenery is stunning, from forests of gentle green acacia trees to animals grazing on the grassy plain or congregating at the shores to drink.UNESCO says due to rapid population growth nearby, the area is under "considerable threat from surrounding pressures," particularly deforestation, a contributing factor in floods.
