What defines the boundaries of the Protected Area (PA)?

The boundaries of a Protected Area (PA) are often defined by a security fence. This structure serves several important purposes. Firstly, it physically delineates the area, providing a clear and maintained boundary that is easily recognizable by visitors and personnel alike. Fences help to prevent unauthorized access and protect the area from external threats, ensuring that the wildlife and natural resources within the PA remain undisturbed.

While natural landmarks can also establish boundaries in some contexts, they may not be as reliable as a constructed fence since they can vary over time due to natural processes. Visible guards and signage indicating danger do offer safety and awareness but do not serve as definitive physical boundaries. A security fence provides a more robust and effective method of protecting the PA and clearly marking its limits.
