First electric fencing for the protection of livestock against wolf attacks

Oteš, 15 November 2003

The first electric fencing donated in the framework of the LIFE project was installed in Oteš near Gospić, in the household of Nikola Baričević. The event was attended by most beneficiaries from Lika, who also took an active part in the installing process, with the assistance of Mr. Devčić of the "Gumex-eko" company and Mr. Šarić, regional project coordinator.
Upon installing the fence, Mr. Baričević signed the contract for the usage of electric fence and obliged to regular filling of the monitoring protocol - a form for monitoring predator (wolf) repellent efficiency of the fence. Mr. Baričević used the opportunity to publicly commend the LIFE III project "Conservation and Management of Wolves in Croatia", as well as the work of its regional coordinator.
