Editorial ⟩ Who is protecting the wolf?

Wild boar populations are increasingly posing a challenge in Estonia, leading to organized hunts to mitigate damage to livestock and concerns about public safety. The wild boar, which may be considered Estonia’s national animal in some regions, has become a significant pest across the country. Reports indicate the animals are responsible for the deaths of dozens of sheep and have been observed taking domestic dogs.

Residents have also noted a lack of fear displayed by the boars towards humans. Consequently, coordinated hunting efforts are underway to manage the population and address the associated issues.
