Exclosure

Ruba Dirho exclosure in Tigray
An insect exclosure used to investigate pollination. A specific bee species is inserted into the exclosure with no other pollinators present.

An exclosure, in an area being used extensively for grazing, is a limited area from which unwanted browsing animals, such as domestic cattle or wildlife such as deer, are excluded by fencing or other means.[1][2]
