WHY SAVE THE MAASAI FROM EXTINCTION?

From the point of view of the Maasai, it is a matter of the right to self-determination. A right the first (civilized) world and South Africa fought so hard to enshrine in their constitution. For the world at large, saving the Maasai is just as important. For starters, there is the wilderness itself. This was mankinds original inheritance from God, given to all of us to love and protect. The Maasai have never given up on this responsibility, and regard it as the greatest privilege they could ever hope for. At this time in history there is not much pristine wilderness remaining in the world. Over the past few centuries the rate of extinction in the plant and animal kingdoms has been quite astounding. That should be reason enough to reconsider developing what is left of Maasai land in Kenya. Furthermore, for the Kenyan economy, this land and the Maasai culture is the very thing that keeps tourists returning. The great animal migrations are world-famous, one of the living wonders of the planet. Something all Kenyans can be proud of. Managed properly, tourism can feed the Kenyan economy for many generations to come. This strategy of the government to develop Maasai land will no doubt bring short-term gains, but it is robbing our children and our childrens children of their natural inheritance. We are told that eco and cultural tourism are amongst the fastest growing industries in the world, generating billions of dollars for host countries and their people. Indeed, entire national economies may now be fueled almost entirely by tourism. Those who stay true to their roots and preserve the land that has never let them down will benefit most. To the world at large, the Maasai offers a different point of view on life. They have never cut their ties with Nature, and remain proudly part of it to the end. Perhaps they may offer western civilization with an alternative way of dealing with the problems which now beset civilization, including pollution, stress, violence, crime and so on. As Albert Einstein said: "We cannot solve the problems we have created with the same thinking that created them." Perhaps the Maasai have found their voice just in time to save mankind from an interesting but out-of-control experiment. "We are not going to kill, humiliate, abuse the rights of the minority because we are majority"
