Historical Memory Foundation Of Peace in Mara

In the Mara region Rather than assuming that forgetting the past will allow people to coexist, the past may in fact preserve the memory of how we are connected to one another [1]. Through this article we can see that even through conflict by learning from past events we can learn as a society and grow together in unity [2]. Overall in Africa many species have been in the decline, and the Mara region shows that the same thing is happening within that region as well [2].  The Mara region is next to the Rift Valley as well as Tanzania and the Siria Escarpment [2].  The Impala and the Gazelle were the animals that had the highest decline in the Mara region [2].  Only the two gazelle species plus impala and giraffe remained numerically more abundant in ranches than in reservations. Buffalo were effectively eliminated from group ranches. Almost no wildebeest were present during the wet season, although several thousand remained in the group ranches, and few of the migrant wildebeest augment the resident animals in the ranches in the dry season. Zebra showed a very similar pattern.[2]There are many factors that play into the drop of living species [2].  Many are natural causes, but a lot of it is attributed to what the people within the region have done such as poaching and such [2].
