We advocate for wildlife friendly fencing, as barbed wire is a major hazard for wildlife killing many animals each year including bats, gliders and owls. There are options for fencing that is effective for wildlife, people and livestock.

It is recommended that you:

• Make your fences wildlife friendly, check out Wildlife Friendly Fencing for more information.
• Monitor barbed wire fences in your area and encourage landholders to go wildlife friendly.
• Encourage the promotion of friendly fencing by councils and suppliers.
