Removing barbed wire

WILD Campo Alegre

Removal of barbed wire

During 2023 almost 30 km of barbed wire fences were removed in order to secure free movement of the larger fauna like mountain tapir, puma, and red brocket deer and potentially even spectacled bear. This work has continued in 2024 and currently in 2025, we are removing large amounts of barbed wire from the newly acquired La Quincha area. Furthermore, since acquiring La Quincha, we have begun removing the fences along the road going through the nature reserve. This has not been possible up till now, because of the threat from cows entering along the road from our neighbours.
