Big cheers for Michael Parks, HCN and the passionate Westerners who are working hard to remove the barriers to wildlife (“Behind the wire with a fence ecologist,” October 2021). I am really excited to see a hopeful tale of desperately needed action to give wildlife back their land. If this is the beginning of a greater trend in the West, they might just have a chance! Now we just need to extend this to half the world, and we’ll have the beginnings of the balance we need to save this planet.
