Fences are bad for wildlife

artificial structure is usually said to be the Great Wall of China. Just how long that is is hard to say, for northern China actually has many walls, built at different times and not always interconnecting. Earth’s second-longest artificial structure, though, is not a wall, but a fence. Its length is known exactly.

Even fences built for other purposes, though, often serve to constrain animals, too. For example, some ecologists worry that the barrier now being erected along the border between America and Mexico, to stop the movement of human migrants, will also disrupt movement of endangered large mammals such as the Sonoran pronghorn and the desert bighorn sheep.

One discovery they have made is that more than half of published fence research focuses on just five countries—America, Australia, Botswana, China and South Africa—with America alone making up over a fifth. A second is that only a third of these studies examined the impact of fences on anything other than the target species involved, meaning the animals explicitly intended to be kept in or out.

Is this that new Hefner docu-series?

The future is going to be lab grown meat, now to convince people all this land needs to be revamped for the good of wildlife.

I'm sure it's there to controlled the wild life

Who writes this dross?

Fences may be bad for wildlife, but they are good for domesticated life, i.e. humans. This whole “humans are a plague upon the earth“ mentality is getting really tired some

Walls are bad for wildlife too BorderWall

They are, i once found a sheep alive, but with a hoof stuck in a barbed wire fence, 2 of us couldn’t get it loose, it was panicking and it was horrible to witness. 😟

yes，like EU to British，so limeys run away！

yeah no shit

Wat say u?

And people.

Wind turbines are even worse for Eagles, hawks, and other birds.

Yeah....this is the most “no shit” headline ever. Fences are for domestic animals. Cows. Horses. Nobody puts up a barbed wire fence to manage wildlife. Lolol
