Operational Group: Management of damage to wild ungulates in Galicia

This Task Force aims to create a multidisciplinary group of technicians, scientists, representatives from the agricultural and forestry sectors, and representatives from the hunting sector to seek common solutions, share knowledge, and act as a single entity to address the problems of damage management affecting wild ungulates in Galicia.

The initiative for this innovative project will focus on the damage caused by wild boar and roe deer, due to their significant socioeconomic impact. However, there is a plan to address other species that may be sources of conflict and are rarely considered in the future (small carnivores, corvids, etc.).

This is a project open to expansion with various social, economic, and administrative stakeholders who are concerned with maintaining a balance between traditional activities and biodiversity and want to participate. The project aims to find a series of feasible solutions, informing and training the agricultural community and other socioeconomic stakeholders, and detailing the steps to follow when they suffer damage.

In this way, they will learn how to deal with these situations and how to find the necessary and sufficient resources to confront them.
