With more people and commercial farming, elephants, lions and humans have to share the same land more often. In places where they are protected by well-placed fences, their populations are slowly growing. This is for example because fences around protected areas such as national parks and refuges can reduce access for illegal hunters. With fewer hunters in their territory, more elephants and lions survive. Learn more about why fences protect elephants and lions:
