Dear Friends,
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...
Minority Rights Group believes that we all have a responsibility to
practice not just eco-tourism, but ethical tourism - so that minorities
and indigenous people are not evicted to make way for holiday-makers on
game reserves or pristine beaches.
Add your voice and join our Trouble in Paradise campaign

Please sign our online petition

pastoralist community from Kenya, evicted from their ancestral lands to
make way for a game reserve in the 1970s.
