More people have been injured by wild boars in recent years due to the rapid growth of the wild boar population in many areas.

Last week, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration and 15 other departments formulated a Plan for the Prevention and Control of Harm Caused by Land Wildlife such as Wild Boars, proposing improvements in infrastructure and the protection of ecosystems in wild animal habitats.
