The Nature of German Imperialism

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the historical context of wildlife conservation in Tanzania, the book explores the impact of German colonial rule on the region's natural resources. It highlights the transition from exploitation, particularly through elephant hunting and the ivory trade, to preservation efforts that marginalized indigenous populations. By examining the interplay between colonial governance and environmental policies, the narrative situates East African conservation within the broader global conservation movement emerging around 1900.
