Abstract
Human-driven habitat fragmentation reduces global biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (1). R. Woodroffe et al. (“To fence or not to fence,” Perspective, 4 April, p. 46) claim that fencing, despite some positive outcomes (2, 3), overwhelmingly exacerbates fragmentation and negatively affects wildlife conservation. They suggest that fencing should only be considered as a last resort and that fence removal is important for climate change preparedness.
