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.
