One million against eviction of Maasai for royal hunters
More than one million people are this week expected to have signed an international petition demanding that Tanzania’s government stop plans to force Maasai pastoralists off their traditional land, to allow game hunting by members of the UAE royal family.
An international campaign by the pressure group Avaaz saw over 400,000 people sign up to their petition in only one day, criticising plans to allow traditional lands to be used for hunting. Since then thousands more have signed up each day.
