Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.

Some groups in the Maasai community rely on livestock as their sole source of income, leaving them vulnerable. Some of the challenges they face include scarcity of resources, climate change, and livestock diseases. In this Maa language interview, Kipaya Ole Mapi, a pastoralist from Monduli District, tells us about the plight of his people.
