Wild boars have been causing significant damage to crops in Tongjiang, a picturesque mountainous county in southwest Sichuan Province.
In 2020, an estimated 20,000 wild boars roamed the forests covering nearly two-thirds of Tongjiang's area. This translates to a staggering density of at least 7 boars per square kilometer, far exceeding the recommended population control limit of 2 per square kilometer.
The local farmers are facing immense challenges as these crop-devouring beasts threaten their livelihoods. Efforts to manage the boar population have been ongoing, but the high density makes it difficult to keep the numbers in check.
Communities in Tongjiang are coming together to find sustainable solutions, balancing the need to protect agriculture with the preservation of wildlife. Innovative strategies and community cooperation are key to addressing this long-standing issue.
As the situation continues, the resilience and dedication of Tongjiang's farmers remain a beacon of hope in the fight against these formidable foes.
