The measure was taken to control overgrazing and conserve the environment The grazing control instituted by colonial government on the Badha landscapes increased the number of livestock in the Gamoji Landscapes.
Their first step was to put "limits on grazing for the health of the environment, to control overgrazing," Daniel Yamat, a Maasai man who is the outfitter's project manager of the disputed territory, told me.
Better drainage technique, control on overgrazing and over urban sprawl and tourism, embankments on the riversides are other highly favored hazard control techniques replied by a large section of the respondents.

In the late 1980s, some scientists concluded that it was drought (or climate more generally), not overgrazing, that controlled the number of livestock in the semi-arid tropical rangelands with a high degree of rainfall variability (Behnke et al. 1993; Ellis and Swift 1988; Homewood et al. 1987).
Whereas communally grazing, which includes the savannas in Africa as well as road/canal sides and open forests, there are no forms of control and there is frequently overgrazing.
In this perception, the pastoralists are the culprits responsible for overgrazing and need to be controlled (cf. Harris 2010).
Despite the severe winter, one of the more sensitive long-term issues, oddly, is how to curb the explosive growth in livestock, which has quadrupled to 40 million head since the 1990 revolution that ushered in democracy and ended a socialist system that tightly controlled the size of the nation's herds to prevent overgrazing.
When the Maasai were removed from Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania in 1974, poaching increased; the eviction of indigenous people from Yellowstone Park in the United States in the late 19th century led to overgrazing by elk and bison; Aborigines in Australia have used controlled burning to protect forests from devastating conflagrations… the list goes on.
There is evidence to suggest that parasites play a crucial role in controlling the distribution and population size of their hosts and in doing so prevent overgrazing by herbivores and overhunting by carnivores.
Undargaa argues that a lack of control on livestock and labour by the government, intersecting with stronger institutional control over some aspects of access to land, has resulted in problems such as elite capture, conflict between herders and overgrazing.
