Maasai Millennials Relevance and Resilience with Tobias Nyumba - a podcast by Eli Weiss

In a rapidly changed world, a multitude of cultures are shifting to a globalized model, and conservation models are not keeping up in asking the right questions about priorities in a multi-layered pressures often clash where humans and wildlife meet. Tobias Nyumba has been studying these multi-dimensional shifts: what security and conservation means to the millennial Maasai and address an age old problem- Human Elephant Conflict. Lofty Human Development Goals created in conference rooms far away have often missed the point in addressing contextual and conceptual perceptions within real communities and a shift in the hierarchy of needs- models created 50 years ago no longer apply. Conservation 2.0 World Version Update continues as we humans address and re-evaluate our operating systems of external vs. internal community conservation as holistic, an organically intertwined living system.
