  • Summary

    This period of enforced pastoral intensification was accompanied by a strong anti-conservationist stand. To provide space and resources for a rapidly growing bovine population wildlife was eliminated. Poaching became rampant in the 1970s. South African military staff, administrators, and local people gained from this total onslaught on wildlife. This provoked international protest and the formation of a conservationist agenda for the region: an agenda which would then be formative from the 1990s onwards.
