"With butterflies and warriors"

DC 4946.41 001 samburu moran # V, west gate community conservancy, northern kenya-from the series 'with butterflies and warriors'-David Chancellor - A Samburu moran prepares to construct a boma out of thorn bushes in which his cattle will spend the night safe from predators. The Samburu live in the northern highlands of Kenya; they are the country’s largest land occupiers and yet number few in a country of tens of millions. Fierce pastoralists they saw no value in having wildlife on their lands because they believed it belonged to the government and was therefore of no benefit to them; cattle were allowed to graze everywhere, the grasslands seriously degraded. Under the stewardship of the northern rangelands trust the Samburu are learning how to regenerate their lands and live alongside the wildlife.
