The Portuguese Executive is preparing a pilot project to reduce the number of wild boars in Portugal, which involves paying a compensation for each animal killed. The measure comes in response to the problems caused by the proliferation of these wild animals in the country.
The government will pay for each wild boar killed under this program. The pilot project aims to control the wild boar population, which has been causing significant damage in several regions of Portuguese territory.
The initiative comes in a context of growing concern about the impact of wild boars on agriculture, ecosystems and road safety. The animals have caused significant losses to farmers and represent a risk for drivers on Portuguese roads.
