Human-wildllife conflict in the form of livestock and crop losses are a huge problem in Bhutan. Of late, we have developed a locally fabricated electric/solar fencing (except the energizer which is imported from China). Insulators are created from HDPE pipes, wires are used from GI wires not meant for fencing and wooden poles. Our evaluation per km comes to Bhutanese Ngultrum 30000 (approx. USD 435 at 69). Since the legalization of electric/solar fencing in Bhutan in April 2013, there are now about 3636 km established across the country. And it is rapidly increasing; some even thinking to fence all the available agriculture fields in their county.

I will be very happy to share about this technology and ways to improve further with suggestions from you all. As known with fencing, damage detection, leakage detection, maintenance and monitoring are also major problems with our kind of fencing. So I'd be happy to work with those who have experience with fencings.
