46. Evidence
47. Two 1959 statutes closed Serengeti National Park to human habitation and created the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (about 8,292 km2) as a multiple-land-use area for Maasai evicted from the plains; Maasai residents state in their own submission that permanent residence and grazing were the consideration for leaving the Serengeti, and that later restrictions and the relocation programme break that undertaking.
