* 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."

Decline of the White Picket Fence Reflects Changing American Neighborhoods

Once a hallmark of middle-class neighborliness and the quintessential symbol of the American Dream, the white picket fence is steadily disappearing from American front yards. In Southington, Connecticut, fence salesmen notice that despite the enduring charm of classic New England-style fences with post caps and traditional mortise-and-tenon construction, demand has significantly dropped. Homeowners today prioritize privacy over aesthetic tradition, opting for higher walls or more secluded landscaping instead. The decline reflects broader societal shifts, including heightened concerns about personal security, changing tastes in suburban design, and evolving definitions of status and community. While restoring an old white picket fence can still be a satisfying task for craftsmen, it has become increasingly rare to see such fences installed in new homes. This trend symbolizes a move away from visible neighborly openness toward a preference for personal space and separation, showing how even iconic symbols of American life adapt to cultural changes over time.
