Wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations in Europe

A scientific review of population trends and implications for management. This report is based on 550 peer-reviewed scientific papers containing the words ‘wild boar’ and ‘Europe’ in their abstracts. The research papers are published in the period 1977-2017 and cover a wide range of topics. The systematic growth in the number of scientific publications on wild boar is an indication of growing environmental and social concerns about the species, which is in turn a reflection of their increasing presence across
Europe.
