This is a follow up of the short story on Fences For Freedom. The following is very disturbing numbers of animals and live stock, that have been killed in a two year period because of predators crossing the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park fence into commercial farmland.. These numbers have been kept by the farmers on the Namibian side of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Their losses due to predators crossing the fence are huge and in terms of monetary value irreplaceable. A total lack of co-operation from SANP management and a total deterioration of the fence, that is over 40 years old is the main reason for the state of events. Kanabo is launching an in iniciative to generate funds, in conjuction with the Namibian farmers,to try and rectify this deplorable situation.

The condition of this fence is absolutely precarious and in a state of neglect due to a number of reasons.
