Control del Jabalí, especie exótica invasora en el Parque Nacional Cerro Castillo

In Cerro Casillo National Park, Chile, a management plan was developed that identifies various biological conservation targets. Threats associated with the protection of these objects were also identified. One of them is the wild boar(Sus scrofa), an invasive exotic species that impacts one of the main conservation targets of the park: the Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus).

Then, through the camera trap monitoring program, the ranger team confirms the presence of wild boar and obtains the first data on abundance, distribution and group composition. To continue the work, agreements are made with authorized hunters and with the owners of the land adjacent to the park. Subsequently, monitoring and captures of the species are carried out, having captured around 20 specimens to date.

Currently, multisectoral work continues with Rewilding, the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), landowners, and authorized hunters.
