How does the Maasai experience show the political nature of environmental crisis?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Drought was natural, but colonial land-boundary policies reduced access to grazing lands and intensified its effects

For the Maasai, drought was a natural hardship, but colonial rule made it more severe by restricting their land and grazing areas. When pastoralists were prevented from seasonal movement and access to alternative pastures, they could not cope with drought as effectively. Thus, the crisis involved not only nature but also power and land policy. Option C states the opposite. Exam tip: when studying environmental crises, examine how government policies affect access to resources.
