What common effect did white settlement and wildlife conservation have on the Maasai despite different aims?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both restricted Maasai access to their former grazing areas
Fertile land was taken for white settlement, while national parks and reserves were created for wildlife conservation. Both measures reduced Maasai access to traditional grazing land and disrupted seasonal movement of their herds. Option B is the opposite of the historical outcome: pastureland was not returned to the Maasai. Exam tip: when comparing colonial policies, identify their common effect on pastoral mobility and grazing rights.
