* 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."

The old ranch was built with wire. The next one may be drawn on a smartphone.

Halter’s $220M raise is a fascinating test of whether virtual fencing is becoming real infrastructure, not just an agtech demo.

Virtual fences are designed to keep native animals away from cars

Kangaroos "are involved in around 90 per cent of animal-related collisions in Australia’s eastern states.
Road safety and animal welfare advocates are perplexed as to why thieves steal virtual fences, but it's a problem that’s occurred across Australia, with instances documented in Victoria, South Australia, and Queensland." >>
