Give reasons to explain why the maasai community lost their grazing lands |
| Answer» As cultivation expanded, pasturelands were turned into cultivated fields. Large areas of\xa0grazing land\xa0were also turned into game reserves where pastoralists were not allowed to enter. This lack of good\xa0grazing lands\xa0and a two-year drought led to losses of almost 60% cattle belonging to the\xa0Maasai\xa0tribes.(i) They were pushed into a small area in South Kenya and North Tanzania.(ii) They were confined now to an arid zone with uncertain rainfall and poor pastures. | |
