For Maasai pastoralists, restricted entry into wildlife parks was not only a legal issue but what else?

Correct answer: A crisis of grazing, drought security and livelihood

The creation of wildlife parks and reserves denied the Maasai access to traditional grazing lands and water sources. During droughts, they could not move their herds to better pastures, so the restriction became a crisis of grazing, livestock security and livelihood. Maritime trading rights were unrelated to Maasai pastoral life. Exam tip: link colonial conservation policies with control over pastures and pastoral livelihoods.
