Orion Meets National Geographic

So, Orion magazine's November/December 2005 issue has an article by Mark Dowie about failures of conservation groups. Part of the piece is about how indigenous peoples are being evicted from their native lands.

And National Geographic's February 2006 issue has an article about the Serengeti; it tells that story in some depth, too. From that:

"They paid us nothing," said Ole Serupe, the only surviving Maasai elder who was party to discussions with the British. "We were told to move because they wanted to make a place for the wild animals," he said.

Surely a topic for one of Deborah Solomon's next interviews in the New York Times Magazine, or a front-page piece in the Wall Street Journal's fun-and-interesting column.
