Kenya: Plunder of Mau Forest a Threat to 3m People

The ongoing destruction of the Mau catchment area is threatening the survival of over three million people, a lobby has said. The group said if the destruction was not checked, tourism activities in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve and the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem would also suffer. The Indigenous Peoples Land Commission said the livelihood of the Maasai and Ogiek communities, who depend on these resources, was also in jeopardy.
