Oil money and a way of life.

YAEDA VALLEY, Tanzania -- One of the last remaining tribes of hunter-gatherers on the planet is on the verge of vanishing into the modern world.
The transition has been long underway, but members of the dwindling Hadzabe tribe, who now number fewer than 1,500, say it is being unduly hastened by a United Arab Emirates royal family, which plans to use the tribal hunting land as a personal safari playground

Perhaps before the land of the Hadzabe becomes the private hunting playground for the wealthy UAE Royal family. A stipulation should be that these wealthy Arabs have to survive six months on the property using only the items the Hadzabe tribe use in their life. That means no air conditioned Hummers too!
