Why are the Maasai going extinct?
Why are the Maasai going extinct? With greater pressure and competition for access to pasture land, much of the available land has been overgrazed, resulting in a reduction in herd sizes. The Maasai have also been displaced from large stretches of territory that have been designated as national parks and wildlife conservation reserves.
Are the Maasai peaceful?
Spear in hand, they are calm and courageous regardless of the danger. The armed British troops who drove the Maasai from their lands in the early 20th century had great respect for these fearless tribesmen.
