| Abstract
|
:
|
"This is a major contribution to the environmental history of settler societies and of South Africa. The Cape, like Australia, became a major exporter of wool. Vast numbers of sheep flooded its semi-arid plains and rapidly transformed its fragile natural pastures. This book analyses the development of conservationalist ideas over the long term in South Africa as a response to these problems." "Readership: scholars and students of South Africa and environmental historians."--Jacket.
