Construction of the 'wild dog fence' begins in Esperance, Western Australia, after almost 20 years of lobbying from farmers.
The 660-kilometre fence costs 11 million AUD and will be an extension of the 1170 km fence that starts at north of Kalbarri.
Scott Pickering, farmer and chair of the Esperance Biosecurity Association says in the late 1990s, the State Government stopped funding wild dog traps in the region, worsening the problem in Esperance.
