   A string of flags (usually red) used to demarcate boundaries that contain wildlife such as wolves, and deter them from crossing.

   • To visually warn wolves away from other pastures, Brown sometimes turns to the old European technique called fladry, stringing wire with bright flags along its length.
   • Fladries, brightly coloured flags sewn on ropes (Fladry: Table 4.3), have been used for hunting wolves (Canis lupus) in Europe for centuries. Most wolves fear fladries and rarely cross such barriers.
