modern express (reporter cai mengying) on september 23, the forestry and grassland bureau of xiji county, guyuan city, ningxia, issued an announcement to recruit wild boar hunting teams, which triggered heated comments from netizens. on the morning of september 25, staff of the forestry and grassland bureau of xiji county said that it is still in the registration stage and there are many people asking for advice. modern express reporters learned that one month before the announcement was issued, 6 acres of corn in a local villager's home was trampled and eaten by wild boars.

this announcement was published in a tweet on the official wechat account of the xiji county forestry and grassland bureau on september 23. the announcement stated that according to relevant documents, 300 adult wild boars in xiji county need to be hunted and disposed of harmlessly, and the funding source is the central government's forestry and grassland ecological protection and restoration funds. the announcement shows that each wild boar will be compensated 2,400 yuan, and the budget is 720,000 yuan.

the announcement also made specific requirements for the personnel, equipment, and hunting methods of the hunting team, such as requiring the age to be between 20 and 60 years old, and there is no specific requirement for the number of people. the hunting team's equipment includes drones, infrared cameras, more than 10 hunting dogs, hunting traps, several military knives, iron nets, protective clothing and other tools. the announcement also emphasized that other wild animals must not be hunted. as for how to hunt, the announcement mentioned that methods such as feeding traps, seines, cages, and hunting dogs will be adopted.

on september 25, a staff member of the xiji county forestry and grassland bureau office told the modern express reporter that as of september 28, while the registration was still in progress, the head of the department had received many consultation calls. many netizens speculated that the local wild boars were rampant, but the staff said that the local wild boars were not rampant as netizens said, "it's not rampant." as for the number of hunts and compensation funds, these are not set casually, and there are relevant policy documents and standards.

public data shows that in 2021, ningxia was identified by the national forestry and grassland administration as one of the 14 national comprehensive pilot provinces and regions for the prevention and control of wild boar damage, and wild boar population control is an important task of the comprehensive pilot work. in 2023, at a symposium on wild boar population control held in ningxia, relevant persons in charge of the xiji county forestry and grassland bureau attended the symposium. from the work dynamics previously released online by the xiji county forestry and grassland bureau, it can be seen that wild boars often damage villagers' crops. just one month ago, villagers in yangzhuang village, shizi township, xiji county reported that the corn they planted was trampled and eaten by wild boars. after multiple on-site verifications, the affected area of ​​corn was 6 mu. the insurance company took on-site photos of the damaged corn to determine the damage, and agreed to apply for compensation according to procedures to reduce the villagers' losses. at the same time, when hunting wild boars this year, shizi township was listed as a key hunting area for hunting to reduce the damage of wild boars to crops in the area.

in february this year, the ningxia hui autonomous region forestry and grassland bureau issued a special "work plan for the prevention and control of wild boars and other terrestrial wildlife harm", which mentioned that the population of wild animals should be controlled in accordance with the law to control the number of wild animal populations within a reasonable range to prevent the excessive growth of individual species such as wild boars. for terrestrial wild animals with important ecological, scientific and social values ​​and local key protected wild animals, the hunting limit shall be determined in accordance with the principle of balancing population density with environmental carrying capacity, and a "hunting permit" shall be issued to clarify the types, quantities, locations, tools, methods and deadlines of hunting. organized hunting is encouraged, and it shall be organized by professional institutions if conditions permit.
