Perspective Chapter: A Perspective on the Resettlement of Maasai Communities from the Ngorongoro Landscape in Tanzania

A significant increase in Maasai population and livestock within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) poses substantial pressure on wildlife and their habitats. To mitigate these impacts, Tanzania initiated a resettlement program, relocating willing Maasai communities to the Handeni district in Tanga region. This approach aims to balance conservation goals with the livelihood needs of local pastoralist communities, offering a potential model for sustainable coexistence in protected areas.
