Index
Enough elephant tusks to fill a thousand
oxwagons
-
that s how much ivory alone was
shipped out of Durban bay between the 1820s
and the 1880s. It amounted to at least a million
kilograms, or a thousand tons, of ivory and
represented the slaughter of
20 000
elephant.
Piles of elephant tusks were then a common
sight at the
dockside
in Port Natal. But that
was not all
-
rhino horn; buck horn; buffalo,
hippo and wildebeest hide; lion, leopard and
wildcat skin; as well as live wild animals, all
were exported, much coming from the last
surviving great African kingdom in southern
Africa, Zululand.
The three pillars of the Zululand and Maputa-
land wilderness were the wild game, the
avifauna, particularly game birds, and the
indigenous forests. This book charts both the
onslaught on them and the efforts made to
preserve them from the destruction that
seemed imminent and inevitable.
But the book also tells the story of the local
African population and their attitudes; it looks
at the white and African hunters who pursued
the game; and it traces the foundation in the
1890s of the first Zululand game reserves and
their struggle for survival against all the odds.
Had not the pioneers of Zululand conservation
embarked on this early conservation movement,
the Zululand wilderness with its tremendous
diversity of fauna and flora would have disap¬
peared completely- and with it one of Africa s
brightest jewels.
Donai McCracken
is
Dean of the Faculty of
Humanities, Development
and Social Sciences and
Senior Professor of
History at the University
of KwaZulu-Natal.
Within a generation, the wilderness of Zululand,
with its spectacular array of mammals, birds and
plants, came near to extinction. This is the saga of
that decline and of the heroic and successful
attempt, through establishing game reserves and
enforcing environmental protection policies, to
save one of Africa s surviving environmental gems.
