Our recent research article examined how the Indigenous Maasai communities of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) and the Loliondo Game Controlled Area (LGCA) have been repeatedly displaced under the guise of conservation, environmental protection, and modernization. Second, conservation p lanning should involve key stakeholders, including Maasai elders, women, youth, pastoral experts, local government, conservation scientists, and other land users. Finally, conservation policy needs to recognize that conservation serves human development and that local communities are conservation partners.
