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.Environment in history ;Volume 9.Wildlife conservationTanzaniaHistory19th centuryWildlife conservationPolitical aspectsGermanyHistory19th centuryWildlife conservationTanzaniaHistory20th centuryWildlife conservationPolitical aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryWildlife managementTanzaniaHistory19th centuryWildlife managementPolitical aspectsGermanyHistory19th centuryWildlife managementTanzaniaHistory20th centuryWildlife managementPolitical aspectsGermanyHistory20th century1900s.africa.agency.animals.bernhard gissibl.big game.colonial.conservation.east africa.ecology.economic.elephant.game reserves.german.germany.global.government.historian.hunting.imperialism.indigenous people.international.ivory.license.national park.natural world.poaching.politics.preservation.safari.savanna.scholarly.swahili.tanzania.tourism.true story.tsetse.wilderness.wildlife.world history.wwi.Wildlife conservationHistoryWildlife conservationPolitical aspectsHistoryWildlife conservationHistoryWildlife conservationPolitical aspectsHistoryWildlife managementHistoryWildlife managementPolitical aspectsHistoryWildlife managementHistoryWildlife managementPolitical aspectsHistory333.95/409678NQ 9400rvkGissibl Bernhard1976-1520561MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798410103321The nature of German imperialism3759197UNINA
