Grade 6- Importance of Deterrents in conserving wild animals.

1. Wire mesh fences and thick bush fence help to keep some wild animals away from the crops and domestic animals.

2. Safe traps can be used to trap some wild animals which should then be released back to the forest, game reserves or national park.

3. Use of bulbs that flashes light in different colours can help to scare wild animals such as lions, leopards and elephants at night.

4. During the day, birds can be kept away by hanging shiny, reflective CDs, DVDs, or reflective ribbons such as shiny party streamers near the garden. The light they reflect from the shiny surfaces of such objects distracts the vision of birds.

5. You can also use scarecrows to scare birds away.

6.  Birds are also scared of sound that reflective ribbons make especially when it is windy. These safe methods do not harm or kill the birds hence they are safe to use.
