I endorse that, particularly in regard to the Masai tribe. Pastoralism is their way of life and an important part of the Masai culture. We hope that when the Tanzanian Government is reviewing its constitution, that form of farming and the Masai tribe will be taken into account because they are the face of Tanzania for many tourists visiting the country. Tourism is important to Tanzania and the Masai people are important, as we saw when we were there.
