June 26, 2019 Webinar - Identifying Invasive Wild Pig Distribution across Canada
Introduced to Canada as livestock in the late 1980's wild boar escaped and were released from farms onto the landscape. In a period of 27 years they have expanded their range across Canada and occupy an area of 777,783km2. Invasive wild pigs pose a significant threat to Canada's ecological and socio-economic systems including but not limited to; loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, water quality degradation, disease transmission, crop damage, and human health and safety concerns. Rapid, aggressive management and control of this invasive species in Canada is required. Learn the latest about Canada's wild pig distribution research from Ruth Aschim, PhD candidate at the University of Saskatchewan who led the research published May 10, 2019 in Nature Scientific Reports.
