1.8-meter-high mesh nets separate rice seed beds and a former rice field, which was abandoned after elderly locals gave up on their fight to protect it from the local deer population, on Anma Island in Yeonggwang, South Korea, May 24, 2024. Rows of nets, some as tall as 2 meters (6.6 ft), and even fences of barbed wire, surround rice seedlings in the island's fields, but the deer eventually get around them, defeating the efforts.
