Why was the adaptive capacity of Maasai pastoralists limited after colonial rule?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because borders and reserves reduced access to alternative pastures

Maasai pastoralists adapted to changing rainfall, drought and fodder conditions by moving their herds between different grazing grounds. Colonial borders, reserves and the takeover of land for cultivation restricted this movement and reduced access to alternative pastures. As a result, they could not easily shift their cattle to safer grazing areas during drought or local shortages. Option C is incorrect because rainfall and fodder are not uniform across regions. Exam tip: link pastoralists’ ability to cope with crises to seasonal mobility and access to grazing land.
