Many of us dream of going on safari to Kenya. We travel content in the knowledge that our holidays protect endangered species, and our tourism helps to boost the local economy.
But we rarely wonder who lived on the land before we arrived there, where they have disappeared to, or at what cost...
MRG believes that we all have a responsibility to practice not just eco-tourism, but ethical tourism – so that minorities and indigenous people are not displaced to make way for holiday-makers on game reserves or pristine beaches.
Join our Trouble in Paradise campaign and sign the online petition in support of the Endorois, a pastoralist community from Kenya, evicted from their ancestral lands to make way for a game reserve in the 1970s.
