They decide the problems they need to address include loss of vegetation and grass, decline in soil condition, lack of water and hunger.
Out of those conversations comes a plan where they'll do things like educating about climate change, bringing young people back into agriculture and securing safe and clean water.
And Dalmas knows they need to act now.
Because climate change is a reality.
It's something we are feeling.
We are in the front line.
We are facing serious effects of climate change.
And I don't think it's going away.
I think it's something that is becoming more and more serious.
So the future for the Maasai without addressing the effects of climate change is dark, it's hopeless, and we need to take action.
So they act, setting up a non-profit organisation called Ildala Leketuk Maasai Action for Development.
They launch land restoration projects.
Teaching our people about our own mobility, our own nomadic pastoralism, how it was and how to apply it in the context of the issues we are facing with the climate change.
They work with families who lost their livelihoods.
We have a cow equity programme where we ask for support and try to distribute animals to families who don't have anything to depend on.
They look for organisations to work with them and start educating the community.
It is basically a living school where we teach people about our lives, about our culture, about our way of life.
And we have our own wise people, wise Masai elders, whom we have made to be our lecturers.
Two years after they began, the land and the people start to respond.
The impact of our work we started feeling in 2015.
