Abstract:
Licht and colleagues (BioScience 60:
147–153) identify South Africa’s pioneering
efforts to reintroduce top
predators to small, fenced protected
areas as a conservation model America
might be wise to follow. However,
South African success at large predator
reintroduction is largely the
result of ubiquitous fencing that
generally prevents predator conflict
with people and livestock (see Gusset
et al. 2008).
