A historical survey traces the global collapse of wild elephant populations from the Cape to Kilimanjaro. It notes early protections near Port Elizabeth, then ruthless hunting by Dutch and colonial hunters, and the near total extinction across Bechuanaland, Matabele and Mashonaland, the Transvaal, and surrounding regions. Ivory trade plummets as demand and slaughter continue, with some pockets holding only remnant herds.
