Government-ran records of biodiversity conservation attempts help bottom-up attempts not only because they provide more information, they provide ideas on how to fix the problem, and they usually help. Biodiversity loss is caused by local, global, and regional factors, so this problem
Maasai, wildlife conservation as well as tourism – and now, industrial agriculture – have threatened their way of living and today there are advocates on the one hand of community development (or poverty reduction) and others in the camp of wildlife conservation with very different suggestions to land use and where policies have been increasingly polarized in either direction.
