* Barbed wire
is a severe threat to Australian wildlife. Tens to hundreds of thousands of native animals—including flying-foxes, gliders, koalas, and birds of prey—die or are severely injured each year after becoming entangled on the barbs.

* "Wildlife-friendly fencing
plays a vital role in allowing safe movement of native animals across the landscape, helping to reduce injuries, fatalities, and habitat fragmentation. Encourage wildlife friendly fencing in your local area. Each year thousands of animals face a cruel death entangled on barbed wire fences."
