“So the fences are designed with a combination of either gaps at the bottom for small animals to cross, or cattle grids which will prevent hoofed animals such as wild boars from crossing, but enabling other animals to still traverse between the forested areas,” he added.For the Gali Batu Flyover site, a fence 1.8m high and 400m long will be installed from July. It is expected to be completed by the end of August.
A combination of fences and cattle grids is also being installed at the site along Chestnut Avenue, with ongoing work expected to be finished by July. Aside from installing barriers, other ways of managing wild boars include culling and discouraging human feeding.
