1. Which country has been excluded by the European Commission from a conservation grant under its NaturAfrica initiative?
Tanzania has been excluded by the European Commission (EC) from a conservation grant under its NaturAfrica initiative due to documented human rights abuses associated with the forced eviction of Maasai communities from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Loliondo. This decision has implications for conservation efforts in East Africa, particularly concerning the Eastern Rift Savannahs and Watersheds (ERiSaWa) component of the initiative.
