  1. Somewhere there are changing attitudes - they are removing barbed wire fencing

    " Man removes 18km of barbed wire fencing from Victorian property to save wildlife. According to Entangled Wildlife Australia, 80 per cent of barbed wire entanglements occur on the top strand. Across Australia, there is a growing push to ban the use of barbed wire for property boundaries. Changing attitudes and behaviour are key if we are to create a safer environment for our wildlife."

  2. Shiny new barbed wire fences are going up around the Bellingen and Gleniffer area:

    "Barbed wire is a hidden killer of Aussie wildlife. Gliders, bats, owls and wallabies die tangled every year. Researchers have long documented sugar and squirrel gliders caught on barbed wire in roadside vegetation...Replacing barbed wire with plain fencing is a quick win for nature. It’s simple, cheap, lifesaving."
