(Not so) happy FF.

(Not so) happy FF.
In the early 1970's Botswana had to control the movement of wildlife into its beef herds in order to control diseases infecting the cattle. As beef was the country's largest export at the time the government of Botswana embarked on a policy of erecting fences in strategic places across the country.
Most of these fences were erected without a feasibility study being carried out with the result that the migration routes of a number of species have been cut off and tens of thousands of animals have died in the past two decades from the denial of a route to water and new grazing.
Possibly the best known fence is the fence that separates Maun from the Okavango Delta.

A sad story..................but whoever made the decision to put the fences up in the first place probably did so with good intentions. What I don't understand is why the decision has not been reversed in the light of the evidence over the years.

Nevertheless...............this is is really beautiful image Annemarie! HFF to you and I wish you a wonderful weekend.

I understood that these fences are a serious ploblem for the cattle !
However, this shot is very pleasant and well composed for its depth and reflections.
All the best

Lovely fence and scene but a terrible story. At the end of the day, all fences are barriers to keep something in or out. Often erected without any consideration.

HFF and a good weekend, Herb

In Europe (and Switzerland) we have the same problems for the wild life with the highways.
So in Switzerland we started to build green animal crossing bridges over the highways.
