Management deference to the King could be seen in the early 1970s when wildebeest, impala, and zebra populations increased dramatically. Hlane management advised the King that culling should be done or there would be ecological harm to the reserve. The King refused to allow it in any part of Hlane. The result was a population crash in 1976. More severe, however, was the detrimental ecological effect: Hlane had lost much of it vegetative cover to overgrazing, leaving certain areas susceptible to gully erosion or bush encroachment.
