  • displaced from Serengeti National Park — Maasai pastoralists were moved out of the Serengeti plains in 1959 when the park was closed to human habitation.
  • resident in disputed tenure Ngorongoro Conservation Area — Maasai households live inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area under the 1959 multiple-land-use settlement, and their continued residence is the subject of an active relocation programme.

865 objects have no place. See why, and how they relate instead — a coordinate they do not have would be a claim, not a kindness. The count is corpus-wide; no lens or window changes it.One more object is located but its mark is withheld: the coordinate is declared, not yet verified, and an unverified pin reads as a fact.
