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.
