Tanzanian President Kikwete is on the verge of signing a deal with a big game corporation that has special interests in rich Middle Eastern hunters who wish to kill lions and leopards.
This deal would displace 48,000 members of Africa's Maasai tribe- and this same corporation has pushed the trible off their land before in favor of wealthy hunters. Following a public outcry, President Kikwete returned the land to the Maasai. We ask the President to STOP the deal to sell the Serengeti to big game hunters.
