Within the last few hundred years, conservationists have started using fences to protect biodiversity from overuse and poaching, as well as to protect people from wild animals, especially large carnivores and megaherbivores such as elephants and rhinos. Fences have become common features of our environment and firmly entrenched in our lives, as we use them to surround our farms, houses, and anything we want to keep to ourselves or protect. The protection of biodiversity from overuse by fencing it off from the surrounding landscape is one of the conservation tools available to us. How can we best protect the world’s biodiversity in the face of the growing human population? This question is the central theme of contemporary conservation biology.
