This is an image by Engell, 1913 which depicts a map of Eastern Africa in the 1890s on the distribution of elephants. It shows various locations in which elephants are located. there are areas where they are rare, common and most common. As you can tell by the image, in other parts of the map (next to Kilimanjaro) elephants were becoming distinct due to the high number of ivory trades that was taking place around time. Ivory was one of the most influential things around the time because it generated a lot of profits for people. Source: Engell, 1913. (the link to the picture is below from Research Gate)

King Cetshwayo was not in favor of a war between the Zulus and the Brits. He opposed the war. This is because King Cetshwayo understood the power of the British forces and wanted to ensure peace. This was the document that was used to sue for peace.

By forming a federation of British colonies and Boer Republic in 1877, Lord Carnarvon, Secretary of State for the colonies, hoped to increase British imperial authority in South Africa. To carry out his strategy, he selected Sir Bartle Frere as British High Representative. Frere was required by Carnarvon's doctrine to take over Zululand, a warrior kingdom that bordered Natal and the Transvaal. Frere's requests for federation and the dissolution o the Zulu Army were rejected by King Cetshwayo since doing so would have meant losing his hold on power When a force under Lieutenant General Lord Chelmsford invaded Zululand in January 1879 to impose British demands, war broke out. The majority of Zulus only carried shields and spear into war. They were still strong opponents, though. They had remarkable maneuverability, were brave in the face of danger and were skilled in hand to hand fighting. The majority of the war's battled depended on British firepower to keep the Zulus at bay.

This journal article gives us more details on the history of ivory trade. It shows us how the global trade of ivory between African countries and outside countries like the United Nations developed them. Ivory trade had been around for years, but the end of slave trade in the 1800s led to the shift in more people engaging in poaching of elephants for the trade of ivory. The more these trades took place was the more the elephant population got extinct. About 75% of ivory would be shipped to Eastern Africa ports, one can imagine the number of elephants killed to get so much ivory. Everyday life objects would be made like hairbrushes, billiard balls, earrings and many more, so this would attract American buyers.
