The Nature of Things: Game Over - Conservation in Kenya

The Nature of Things: Game Over - Conservation in Kenya Synopsis

This programme looks at the changing face of conservation in Kenya and explores the impact of both colonial and contemporary initiatives, as well as how they affect the peoples who have traditionally lived off the land. In particular, we follow the shifting fortunes of the semi-traditional pastoral group the Masai, one of several tribes in Africa. Prominent conservationists like Dr. Richard Leakey discuss key events in Kenya's conservation history, and what it is going to take for conservation to succeed today.
