"Mr President, attacking pastoralists’ right to roam on their own land is an issue that has come up time and time again. The Masai Mara Serengeti ecosystem supports the highest concentration of wildlife on earth. It is estimated that Masai territories provide habitats for 80% of East Africa’s wildlife.
The Masai and other pastoralists see themselves as custodians of the land they inhabit and they play an essential role in conservation and environmental protection. They are ideally placed to be the eyes and ears to protect vulnerable species from poaching and other wildlife crimes.
Rather than being considered a threat to conservation, the Masai and other pastoralists must be included in plans to protect this fragile land on which they have co-existed peacefully and sustainably for millennia.
Tanzania must respect the numerous promises they have made to these people over the years. Pastoralists all over the world need protection from land encroachment and so the Commission and Member States must put pressure on the Tanzanian Government to make sure it brings forward legally binding laws to protect the rights of the Masai, not sell off their land to the highest bidder to create a playground for the rich and powerful."@en1
