Breaking Green · Decolonizing Conservation: Evictions of Indigenous Maasai in Tanzania · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

Welcome to Breaking Green, a podcast by Global Justice Ecology Project.

UNESCO is the United Nations educational, scientific, and cultural organization.

It is tasked with the promotion of global peace and security through international cooperation in education, science, culture, and information.

Yet, recent reporting by Survival International has highlighted how UNESCO has used its influence to support the forced relocation of the Maasai from their land in Tanzania.

The Maasai, who are an indigenous people of the Serengeti, are again being brutally repressed and their herding culture intentionally dismantled in favor of a fortress conservation model that promotes trophy hunting and tourism over the rights of the Masai who have lived on the land from time immemorial.

On this episode of Breaking Green, we will speak with Paul Renault.

Paul Renault is a researcher with Survival International where he has worked extensively since twenty nineteen on the campaign to decolonize conservation in Africa.

Paul's efforts have included working extensively in the field with the Maasai.

He currently joins us from Paris.

Uh but people have always been part of the land.

So what we see with conservation is moving rightful uh landowners, caretakers, uh indigenous people off that land with the idea that we're going to have a a natural state.

So could you address, you know, what's wrong with that picture?

The treatment of the indigenous people is quite brutal.

And I think people would be surprised to learn that some of these wildlife or conservation organizations that uh everyone thinks of as or many people think of as as preserving nature, uh working for good, actually can support uh or even be part of
