Our Gigantic Zoo (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Oxford University Press Inc, New York, 2020
ISBN 10: 0199843678 ISBN 13: 9780199843671
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. How did the Seregenti become an internationally renowned African conservation site and one of the most iconic destinations for a safari?In this book, Thomas M. Lekan illuminates the controversial origins of this national park by examining how Europe's greatest wildlife conservationist, former Frankfurt Zoo director and Oscar-winning documentarian Bernhard Grzimek, popularized it as a global destination. In the 1950s, Grimzek and his sonMichael began a quest to save the Serengeti from modernization and "overpopulation" by remaking an imperial game reserve into a gigantic zoo for the earth's last great mammals. Grzimek, well-known to Germanaudiences through his long-running television program, A Place for Animals, used the film Seregenti Shall Not Die to convince ordinary Europeans that they could save nature. Yet their message sidestepped the uncomfortable legacies of German colonial exploitation in the region that had endangered animals and excluded local people. After independence, Grzimek raised funds, brokered diplomatic favors, and convinced German tourists to book travel packages--all to persuadeTanzanian leader Julius Nyerere that wildlife would fuel the young nation's economic development. Grzimek helped Tanzania to create almost a dozen new national parks by 1975, but wooing tourists conflicted with rights of theMaasai and other African communities to inhabit the landscape on their own terms. Grzimek's global priorities eventually clashed with Nyerere's nationalist ones, as a more self-assertive Tanzania resented conservationists' meddling and failed promises.A story that demonstrates the conflicts between international conservation, nature tourism, decolonization, and national sovereignty, Our Gigantic Zoo explores the legacy of the man who portrayed himself as a secondNoah, called on a sacred mission to protect the last vestiges of paradise for all humankind. Our Gigantic Zoo tells the story of Bernhard Grzimek, the most important European wildlife conservationist, and his role in creating a permanent sanctuary for innocent animals in Serengeti National Park.

Imagining the Nation in Nature : Landscape Preservation and German Identity, 18851945
Language: English
Published by Harvard University Press Feb 2004, 2004
ISBN 10: 0674010701 ISBN 13: 9780674010703
Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - One of the most powerful nationalist ideas in modern Europe is the assertion that there is a link between people and their landscape. Focusing on the heart of German romanticism, the Rhineland, Thomas Lekan examines nature protection activities from Wilhelmine Germany through the end of the Nazi era to illuminate the relationship between environmental reform and the cultural construction of national identity.In the late nineteenth century, anxieties about national character infused ecological concerns about industrialization, spurring landscape preservationists to protect the natural environment. In the Rhineland¿s scenic rivers, forests, and natural landmarks, they saw Germany as a timeless and organic nation rather than a recently patchworked political construct. Landscape preservation also served conservative social ends during a period of rapid modernization, as outdoor pursuits were promoted to redirect class-conscious factory workers and unruly youth from ¿crass materialism¿ to the German homeland. Lekan¿s examination of Nazi environmental policy challenges recent work on the ¿green¿ Nazis by showing that the Third Reich systematically subordinated environmental concerns to war mobilization and racial hygiene.This book is an original contribution not only to studies of national identity in modern Germany but also to the growing field of European environmental history.
