Abstract

Human-wild boar (Sus scrofa) interactions have intensified globally due to habitat loss, increasing boar populations and human encroachment into wildlife areas. Wild boars, highly adaptable and prolific, pose significant challenges to agriculture, public safety and ecosystem balance. They cause extensive crop damage, transmit zoonotic diseases and disrupt ecological processes. Their high reproductive rate and lack of natural predators have further exacerbated interactions. Various management strategies, including culling, fencing, repellents and contraceptive methods, have been employed to mitigate human-wild boar interactions, yet challenges remain in balancing ecological conservation and economic interests. Sustainable coexistence requires a multi-faceted approach integrating modern technologies such as GPS tracking, drones and AI-driven analytics with traditional control measures. Public awareness, policy support and community engagement are crucial in developing effective mitigation strategies. This review examines the causes, impacts and management strategies of human-wild boar interactions while highlighting the need for innovative and integrated approaches to reduce conflict and ensure sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife.
