本文讨论了马赛马拉国家保护区（MMNR）附近的土地所有权趋势。近年来，肯尼亚政府采取了一项政策，促进在该地区细分集团牧场。这项政策对马拉地区的马赛人和自然资源产生了严重影响。我们研究土地定居模式和马赛人的态度和信仰对公共土地的细分。由于一般来说，种植与野生动物的相容性远远低于放牧，因此任何对种植的改变都将对MMNR和利用保护区和邻近牧场群的野生动物产生重大影响。我们相信，政府可以通过鼓励以野生动物为基础的企业和保护地役权，以及将野生动物管理责任转移给马赛土地所有者，来确保在个人保有权制度下的保护。
This article discusses land ownership trends adjacent to Masai Mara National Reserve (MMNR). In recent years, the government of Kenya has adopted a policy promoting subdivision of group ranches in this region. This policy has serious implications for the Maasai people and natural resources within the Mara region. We examine land settlement patterns and the attitudes and beliefs of Maasai people toward subdivision of communal lands. Since, in general, cultivation is far less compatible with wildlife than grazing, any changes toward cultivation will have significant implications for MMNR and the wildlife that utilize the reserve and adjacent group ranches. We believe that the government can ensure conservation under the individual tenure system by encouraging wildlife-based enterprises and conservation easements, and by transferring wildlife management responsibilities to Maasai landowners.
