Kenya & Tanzania Enter Deal to Monitor Mara and Serengeti

Kenya and Tanzania have entered into an agreement where they will now jointly monitor any developments around the Maasai Mara Game Reserve and Serengeti National Parks.

The terms of the agreement give each country the freedom to to question any development it feels will threaten water in the Mara area.
