Castellón accelerates the fight against wild boars after removing 1,525 specimens

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General10 September 2026 at 13:15

Castellón maintains the fight against wild boar overpopulation after removing 1,525 specimens with the action plan implemented in recent months. Local authorities have been intensifying efforts to control the population of these wild animals in the region.

The measures implemented are beginning to show results, although the problem is far from being solved. The situation continues to represent a significant challenge for local authorities and residents of the area.

The Generalitat (regional government) plans to reinforce trapping and maintain aid to hunters as part of the strategy to combat proliferation. This approach combines different methods of population control.

The estimated wild boar population in the Valencian Community is about 150,000 animals, which highlights the magnitude of the challenge that authorities face in effectively reducing this population.
