How did natural and colonial causes work together in African pastoralists' problems?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Drought reduced fodder and water, while colonial boundaries made access to new pastures difficult
During droughts, pastoralists needed to move with their animals in search of water and fresh fodder. However, colonial rule restricted this seasonal movement through boundaries, reserved forests, cultivated areas, and national parks. Thus, colonial controls made a natural crisis more severe. Option B reverses the effect of drought. Exam tip: link drought with colonial restrictions on grazing and movement.
