Few people know that, when the Serengeti National Park – the world’s most famous nature reserve – was created in the 50’s and 60’s, the Indigenous Peoples who had lived there in harmony for at least 3000 years, were thrown out.

Fifty years later, the government of Tanzania, the tourist industry and conservation organizations, continue to advance the idea that the Maasai Peoples are intruders on their own ancestral land.

We're fighting for our lives

Indigenous Peoples are putting their bodies on the line and it's our responsibility to make sure you know why. That takes time, expertise and resources - and we're up against a constant tide of misinformation and distorted coverage. By supporting IC you're empowering the kind of journalism we need, at the moment we need it most.
