Pest-exclusion fence

A pest-exclusion fence is a barrier that is built to exclude certain types of animal pests from an enclosure.

[7] Cluster fencing allows farmers to monitor and mitigate predation pressure on livestock, and monitor Total Grazing Pressure (TGP) through accurate abundance data of native, pest, and domestic herbivores.

[5] Australia uses pest-exclusion fencing to separate several high-value or threatened species from introduced predators.

One such example is Arid Recovery in South Australia, where feral cat, red fox and rabbit have been removed for the conservation of 5 threatened species.

The introduced mammal species, such as rabbits, deer, and possum, have since caused huge ecological changes to the biota of New Zealand.
