Abstract

Human-wildlife conflict is an important issue for wildlife management and environmental protection. With the removal of wild boar (Sus scrofa) from the list of‘three species’, it is vital to evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and control measures against wild boar and to conduct cost-benefit analysis at both economic and ecological levels. From August 21st to October 9th in 2022 and 2023, 82 cameras were set up in 28 sample plots in the Hanshan and Heilihe Forest Farms. Effectiveness evaluation, Kruskal-Wallis test, cost-benefit analysis, and replicability analysis were used to conclude that the use of the prevention and control measure was significantly more effective than the blank control measure. The use of the prevention and control measure alone is better than the stacked use, and the infrared sensor alarm is the locally optimal measure with better economic and ecological benefits and replicability. We hope to provide economically and ecologically feasible solutions for areas affected by wild boar, and to better manage human-animal conflicts.

Key words： Human-animal conflict; Wildlife accident; Wild boar; Effectiveness evaluation; Economic-ecological analysis
