Description (French)
Cette contribution permet un partenariat avec Alberta Pork pour éradiquer ou contrôler cet animal envahissant. Au cours des deux dernières années, les sangliers sont devenus répandus dans le parc national Elk Island. Les observations sont en augmentation et les preuves de la destruction de l'habitat dans le parc deviennent évidentes. On pense qu'une population reproductrice s'est maintenant établie. Dans le cadre de la tendance actuelle à l'augmentation des observations et de la présence, l'EINP prévoit que cela deviendra un problème à long terme. Le sanglier (Eurasian Wild Hog) n'est pas originaire de l'Alberta et, en tant que ravageur envahissant, endommage l'environnement.
