The BlueNile Falls fed by Lake Tana near the city of Bahar Dar, Ethiopia forms the upstream of the BlueNile.
The BlueNile, along with that of the Atbara to the north, which also flows out of the Ethiopian highlands, were responsible for the annual Nile floods that contributed to the fertility of the Nile Valley and the consequent rise of ancient Egyptian civilization and Egyptian Mythology.
Sudan has designated 3.5 percent (2004) of its land as protected areas, but poaching threatens animal populations in these areas and throughout the country.

Sudan’s population is growing at a rate of 2.55 percent (2006) annually.
