Tanzania Govt: Stop auctioning Maasai land to carbon traders and trophy hunters

GP04F6P_Low res (800px)

The Maasai people, already on the frontline of the climate crisis, are being further marginalised by the actions of the Tanzanian government.

They are being forcefully evicted from their homes, and their ancestral lands are being auctioned off to greedy corporations for trophy hunting and carbon credits trading under the guise of conservation. 

Carbon credits are a false solution to the climate crisis, serving only to greenwash the continued exploitation of vulnerable communities.

Demand the Tanzanian government protect the rights of the Maasai, stop these evictions and prioritise real solutions to the climate crisis.

To: Samia Suluhu, President of the United Republic of Tanzania 

  • Immediately halt the forceful evictions of Maasai people from their ancestral lands
  • Stop the allocation of Maasai land to Otterlo Business Corporation for trophy hunting
  • Reject carbon credit projects, a false climate solution that is driving the displacement of the Maasai community
