Summary

Mosi-oa-Tunya/Victoria Falls, recognized for its geological processes and geomorphological formations, holds exceptional natural beauty that contributes to its Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) under criteria (vii) and (viii). This World Heritage property, the only African site among the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, features the widest waterfall curtain at 1,706 meters with a deepest point of 108 meters. The study emphasizes its significance as a tourism icon for Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Africa, while addressing its management and conservation challenges. The research likely employs a transnational approach to examine the site's ecological dynamics, cultural importance, and sustainable management strategies, given its status as a shared heritage between two nations.
