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. 410 0$aEnvironment in history ;$vVolume 9. 606 $aWildlife conservation$zTanzania$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWildlife conservation$xPolitical aspects$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWildlife conservation$zTanzania$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWildlife conservation$xPolitical aspects$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWildlife management$zTanzania$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWildlife management$xPolitical aspects$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWildlife management$zTanzania$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWildlife management$xPolitical aspects$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 610 $a1900s. 610 $aafrica. 610 $aagency. 610 $aanimals. 610 $abernhard gissibl. 610 $abig game. 610 $acolonial. 610 $aconservation. 610 $aeast africa. 610 $aecology. 610 $aeconomic. 610 $aelephant. 610 $agame reserves. 610 $agerman. 610 $agermany. 610 $aglobal. 610 $agovernment. 610 $ahistorian. 610 $ahunting. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $aindigenous people. 610 $ainternational. 610 $aivory. 610 $alicense. 610 $anational park. 610 $anatural world. 610 $apoaching. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apreservation. 610 $asafari. 610 $asavanna. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $aswahili. 610 $atanzania. 610 $atourism. 610 $atrue story. 610 $atsetse. 610 $awilderness. 610 $awildlife. 610 $aworld history. 610 $awwi. 615 0$aWildlife conservation$xHistory 615 0$aWildlife conservation$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWildlife conservation$xHistory 615 0$aWildlife conservation$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWildlife management$xHistory 615 0$aWildlife management$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWildlife management$xHistory 615 0$aWildlife management$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 676 $a333.95/409678 686 $aNQ 9400$2rvk 700 $aGissibl$b Bernhard$f1976-$01520561 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798410103321 996 $aThe nature of German imperialism$93759197 997 $aUNINA
