How wildlife conservancies perpetuate green colonialism in kenya?

Wildlife conservancies in Kenya sometimes make it harder for local people to live their lives, like when a big kid takes all the toys in the sandbox and doesn’t share.

Wildlife conservancies are special areas where animals can live freely. They’re often run by rich people or companies who want to protect animals. But they also want to make money from tourists who come to see them.

In Kenya, some of these conservancies take over land that belongs to local communities. It's like when a big kid takes all the toys in the sandbox and doesn’t share, the local families can't use their land for farming or grazing their animals because it’s now a place just for tourists and wild animals.

Sometimes, people from far away come in with money and say, “We’ll help you live better,” but they don’t always do what they promise. This is called green colonialism, it's like old-fashioned colonialism, but instead of taking gold or land, rich countries or companies take over nature and make local people depend on them.

Local communities often have to pay to use their own land, just like you might have to give your friend some of your toys to play together. It doesn’t always feel fair, it feels more like a game where the rules are made by someone else.
