Wild boars in Bergfelde: This is how residents protect themselves effectively!
In Hohen Neuendorf, especially in the Bergfelde district, there is a remarkable increase in the wild boar population. More and more citizens are reporting damage caused by animals' curiosity. hohen-neuendorf.de reports that the increased occurrence is due to the harvest season, thinning in forests and increased hunting. Wild boars, which find a rich supply of food in the city and are not afraid of hunters, visibly feel comfortable. Their keen sense of smell allows them to detect food sources up to two kilometers away - a fact that doesn't make the situation any easier.
An important detail: In urban areas, the city has no responsibility for regulating the wild boar population, and the legal framework is clear - hunting is only possible under acute danger from the police or hunters. In addition, feeding wild boars is strictly prohibited and can be punished with a fine of up to 5,000 euros. The city has so far successfully used deterrents to give the animals unpleasant experiences and to keep them away from built-up areas. But this is an ongoing battle.
Protective measures and correct behavior
What can you do as a resident? Firstly, all feeding places for wild animals should be removed. Waste collection points must be fenced off to be game-proof and the garbage should be ready on the day of collection. hohen-neuendorf.de also recommends protecting the properties with sturdy fencing. Calm behavior is also important when encountering a wild boar - hasty movements should be avoided.
To support the areas attacked by wild boars, the city is also trying to secure public spaces through fencing and the use of deterrents. Contacts for questions on this topic can be found in the public order office of the city of Hohen Neuendorf, which can be reached at the following telephone number: (03303) 528 702.
Wild boars in Germany: A dynamic picture
A variety of factors influence the population, and human activity has a significant impact on the spread of African swine fever (ASF). To minimize the danger, extensive measures are required that go far beyond hunting. What is particularly noteworthy is that, according to wildtierschutz-deutschland.de, a 70% reduction in populations is considered illusory, as the actual shooting rates are often far below the required numbers.
The challenge of finding an objective inventory and solutions is therefore clear. Whether in Brandenburg or other federal states - dealing with wild boars will continue to be the focus of discussion in the future, and the affected residents are well advised to find out about the applicable regulations and optimal protective measures.
