Abstract
Description
As human civilization expands and depletes resources, protected areas, such as national parks, have become key areas of conservation. Increasingly, protected areas are becoming ‘islands’ of wilderness. 1,2,3 As a result, wildlife cannot move freely throughout their ranges, concentrating their impacts. 20 Large herbivores greatly impact vegetation
in areas they occupy;1,3,4,5,6 such impacts are compounded in fenced protected areas,1 especially if predation is reduced or absent and if populations become hyperabundant.
