NCAA is also responsible for wildlife habitat management, dispersal and grazing patterns, wildlife census within the area, and coordination of international conventions and agreements. Moreover, it manages and  conducting scientific evaluations, monitoring management interventions, and coordinating all research activities in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) in order to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the NCA’s natural ecosystems.

The authenticity of the area’s fossil localities is unquestionable. However, given the nature of these fossil sites, the context for fossil deposits must be preserved (except by natural geological processes). As a result, the NCAA is required to ensure that the sites remain undisturbed and are not threatened by visitor access, construction, or grazing cattle.

Significant features within NCA;

Ngorongoro crater, Northern Highland Forest Reserve, Ndutu plains and Marshes, Olkarian gorge, Empakai crater, Olmoti crater (freshwater) waterfalls, Lakes (Magadi and Maseki), Hippo pools (Viboko, Ngoitoktok and Gorgor). Wildlife species (Rare and Critically endangered wildlife species) Large carnivores, medium and small carnivores, Large medium and small mammals, Birds, Wildlife corridors, breeding sites, dispersal areas, habitats, foraging grounds, Unique wild plants (wildflowers).
