Amboseli gazetted as a national park, removing Maasai rights inside the boundary

1. Story
2. In July 1974 Amboseli was declared a national park, converting land held under Maasai tenure into a state park and extinguishing resident grazing and water rights within it. Surrounding group ranches were intended as buffer and compensation; the swamps that had been dry-season fallback grazing became the park's core tourism asset.

28. The Amboseli Elephant Research Project, founded by Cynthia Moss and Harvey Croze in 1972, is the longest continuous study of wild African elephants; it documents that elephants of Amboseli National Park (gazetted 1974, roughly 392 km2) depend on dispersal land outside the park held under Maasai tenure.
