Sobre este áudio
More than any other individual, James Stevenson-Hamilton can be credited with the creation of the Kruger National Park in South Africa. In 1902, when the South African War ended, Stevenson-Hamilton swapped his military career for the more uncertain calling of a game warden. Under his supervision the small, neglected, and war-ravaged Sabi Game Reserve expanded in stature and size. By the time he retired in 1946, the Kruger National Park had become one of the great national parks of the world.
While the evolution of the Kruger National Park was his life's work, Stevenson-Hamilton kept his many other interests alive. During the World War I, he fought in Gallipoli and Egypt. In 1917, he was seconded to a civilian administrative post in the southern Sudan, where he remained until 1921. During the late 1920s and 1930s, he consolidated the development of the Kruger Park. After his retirement, he remained in South Africa and lived with his wife and family near White River in the Eastern Transvaal (now Mpumalanga).
