The Maasai of Ngorongoro are running out of time.

The Tanzanian government is openly pushing for mass evictions -- forcing families from their ancestral lands to clear the way for elephant hunting and elite tourism. Communities could lose access to water, health care, and grazing rights within weeks.

The Maasai don't just live in Ngorongoro -- they've cherished the grasslands and rivers for generations. Wildlife is abundant and elephants come here to give birth. And that's exactly why the government wants to take Maasai lands for trophy hunting.

And it's not just in Tanzania.

Across the planet, governments and corporations are pushing Indigenous people out, tearing through the fragile landscapes that communities have protected for generations.

That's why Avaaz members have stood with Indigenous communities again and again -- because defending their rights is one of the most powerful ways to protect the living world itself.

We successfully helped the Maasai to block mass evictions before -- but now the government is even more determined. Elders are calling for our urgent support, because they simply can't afford expensive legal battles, and time is running out.

Together, we could fund top lawyers to challenge evictions in court, protect families at immediate risk, and support Maasai-led wildlife conservation. You'll also help to power Avaaz campaigns defending Indigenous rights around the world.
