In Loliondo, Maasai village lands have been leased to a United Arab Emirates-based company for trophy hunting, triggering forceful evictions. Tens of thousands more Maasai now face eviction from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for the interests of wildlife tourism. 3/3

Benefits are concentrated upwards to elites; most local people, already poor, gain little and lose much more. @SianSullivanUK's forensic analysis for Namibia is true for Tanzania too. Tens of thousands of people are at this moment being evicted from their villages and lands. 2/3

Urgent and essential reading by @SianSullivanUK. UK politicians are right now opposing banning trophy hunting claiming it can "help fund conservation". But @SianSullivanUK shows how this& wildlife tourism impoverish and displace rural Africans from their lands and livelihoods 1/3

Thanks @biosec_erc for highlighting this. At this very moment the Tanzanian state is using just such Malthusian arguments to try and remove 80,000 pastoralists from Ngorongoro, and 40,000 from Loliondo - see links and scientists' open letter in thread below
Rosaleen Duffy@biosec_erc

1/ This has to be one of the absolute worst takes on conservation- using a Malthusian framing about population growth *without* engaging with the global dynamics of capitalism & consumption patterns of the wealthy that sustain inequality is utterly inexcusable @RachelNuwer
