The Great Wall of China is not a complete wall, it's more of a series of watch towers to keep out the Mongol hordes. The Dingo fence and Rabbit fence are complete fences, designed to keep out plague proportions of rabbits, and are constantly maintained year round by lone fencers each operating over about 500KM of fence each. It's because of this completeness it is the longest wall in the world. And, yes, it does mess with the ecosystem. Emus and kangaroos try to jump it and trip or get caught in the wire and die. But which is worse? A few dead emus, or a few billion rabbits turning our relatively fragile ecosystem into swiss cheese. Oh yeah, wild dogs = tame, lol. Just clear up a few things.

You can read the stories and the history here http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/special/rsjproject/rsjlibrary/hreoc/stolen/stolen16.html This is all very well-documented. Denial or justification of this is very strong however in Australia. Rabbit Proof Fence came as news to most Australians. There isn't one memorial in the whole country.

The dingos are not a threat. They tend to be very tame, and more scavengers than hunters. Maybe you can do some quick research next time you post a picture, rather than just posting a nice picture and some words that might not be true at all. Thanks for future accuracy, Mike.

That is the first thing that came to mind. There may be a longer manmade object. What about the Trans-Siberian Railroad “from Moscow to Vladivostok, is over 9288 kilometers”.

There's not really that much to see in this area.
