• Resumen

  • The first 70 kilometers or so of the world's longest conservation fence has been completed on the lower southern slopes of Mount Kenya. Stretching 500 kilometers when finished, and electrified to 8000 volts, it will surround the entire mountain--one of the world's great refuges for wildlife--and keep animals away from villages. The rights and wrongs of electric fences that keep humans and wildlife apart have become a battleground in the debate about how best to preserve megafauna.
