摘要: Habitat fragmentation undermines the functioning of ecosystems, and so biodiversity conservation often entails maintaining or restoring landscape connections. However, conservationists also destroy connectivity by constructing wildlife fences. A recent debate about use fences to protect African lions ( 1 – 3 ) highlights a more general need evaluate role fencing in conservation.
