bio-fences as barriers These are eco-friendly barrier fences made from living plants or trees that keep elephants and other wildlife away from farms and compounds.
“no way through these thick trees”
Placing any type of boundary, such as bio-fences, trenches, or electric fences must be considered carefully so as not to increase conflict by cutting off movement corridors,fragmenting populations, and causing elephants to become more desperate or aggressive. (Fernando et al., 2008; Gunaryadi et al., 2017).
Apart from their protective role, live fences play an important part in environment management, soil stability, nutritional balance and income generation. Selection of plant species, design of fences and management all depend on climate conditions. With natural fencing, instead of cutting down trees to make materials for building fences, we can live in harmony with nature by planting more trees and shrubs.
