Another urgent request from the Maasai of Tanzania to sign and/or SHARE the petition "Tanzania: Stop the eviction of the Maasai". It has been running since 2022 and initially seemed successful: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/maasai_evictions_sg_loc
Current appeal [slightly shortened]:
"In a matter of days, 27,000 Maasai could lose their ancestral land! Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan wants to clear the Maasai homeland for #safaris and trophy hunting in the hope of immense profits. A few years ago, 3 million signatories stood up for the Maasai - and the president at the time listened to us. Now they are asking for support again."
#Maasai grandmothers from S #Kenya document their increasing burden of care and provisioning for their families in the face of #climatecrisis and prolonged #drought in E Africa.
"Naneu and Metito say their photography work has allowed them to share authentic representations of Maasai women, reignited their interest in everyday happenings in their communities, and enabled them to understand the issues they face more deeply.
“Getting behind the camera and hearing how people are being affected, that’s when I truly understood the extent of the situation we are facing with climate change,” says Naneu."
