Today, the East African state of Tanzania is renowned for wildlife
preserves such as the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area, and the Selous Game Reserve. Yet few know that
most of these initiatives emerged from decades of German colonial
rule. This book gives the first full account of Tanzanian wildlife
conservation up until World War I, focusing upon elephant hunting
and the ivory trade as vital factors in a shift from exploitation
to preservation that increasingly excluded indigenous Africans.
Analyzing the formative interactions between colonial governance
and the natural world, The Nature of German Imperialism situates
East African wildlife policies within the global emergence of
conservationist sensibilities around 1900.
