Building Lion-Proof Fences - Laly Lichtenfeld

It has often been repeated that "Good fences make good neighbors." And this isn't more true anywhere than in Tanzania and neighboring countries. Lion conservatoinist Laly Lichtenfeld recently completed a ten-year study that found a 90% reduction in predation where locals keep their livestock at night. The living walls, called bomas, combine chain link fences with living foliage that conspire to keep top predators away from livestock, reducing conflict with local people who want to protect their farm animals.
