Australia built an A$187,000 electric fence across wild horse country; inside lies an endangered alpine wetland supporting three threatened animals

An electric fence protects a rare alpine wetland in Australia's Kosciuszko National Park. This small area is home to three threatened native species found nowhere else. Feral horses damage the delicate peatlands, which store significant amounts of global carbon. Studies show these wetlands release more carbon dioxide when disturbed by horses. Conservation efforts like this fence aim to preserve vital ecosystems and biodiversity.
