Answer:

The Maasais lost their grazing lands due to the following reasons:

In 1885, Maasai land was cut in half by an international boundary between British Kenya and German Tanganyika.

The best pastures were reserved for white settlements, and the Maasai tribes were given arid zone with uncertain rainfall and poor pastures into a small area in South Kenya and North Tanzania.

The British colonial government in East Africa also encouraged local peasant communities to expand cultivation. As cultivation expanded, pasturelands were turned into cultivated fields.

Large areas of grazing land were also turned into game reserves where pastoralists were not allowed to enter.

This lack of good grazing lands and a two-year drought led to losses of almost 60% cattle belonging to the Maasai tribes.

Thus, with the expansion of British colonization, the Maasai community lost their grazing lands.
