The rabbit-proof fence is a long barrier built in Australia to keep rabbits and other pests from damaging farmland. Constructed in the early 1900s, it stretches over 1,800 miles across Western Australia. The fence was part of a larger effort to protect crops and livestock from invasive species. The fence gained additional historical significance due to the story of the Stolen Generations, where Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their families. In 2002, the film "Rabbit-Proof Fence" depicted the journey of three girls who escaped from a government settlement and followed the fence to return home, highlighting the impact of these policies.
