诸如科罗拉多的Barbed Wire Warriors(Barbed Wire Warriors)等环保团体正在清除整个美国西部的刺死铁丝网围栏,以保护野生动物。 志愿者们将数百英里的旧的、未使用的铁丝网切割下来,伤害了鹿、鹿和长角鹿。 Barbed wire fences across the American West are being removed by conservation groups like Colorado’s Barbed Wire Warriors to protect wildlife, with volunteers cutting down hundreds of miles of old, unused fencing that harms deer, elk, and pronghorn. 尽管数据有限,但过去的研究表明每年每2.5英里就有一名动物死亡。 Though data is limited, past research suggests one animal death every 2.5 miles annually. 努力扩大到内华达州、新墨西哥州和怀俄明州,那里正在改建或更换围栏。 Efforts are expanding to Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming, where fences are being modified or replaced. 一些牧场主正在测试基于全球定位系统的虚拟围栏,作为一种可持续的替代办法,允许在没有有形障碍的情况下管理牛群,同时改善野生动物的通行。 Some ranchers are testing GPS-based virtual fencing as a sustainable alternative, allowing cattle to be managed without physical barriers while improving wildlife passage.
