In Xiji County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, wild boars have become a significant threat to agricultural and rural livelihoods, damaging crops and even endangering locals. A coordinated hunting operation to hunt adult wild boars in the area began on Oct. 18, enlisting local protection teams and specially trained dogs to manage the burgeoning population — now numbering over two million nationwide — and safeguard autumn harvests. The efforts highlight the challenges and evolving strategies needed to balance ecological protection with rural sustainability.Contributions: Dong Kaiyan Download the new Sixth Tone app at the App Store or Google Play APK file for Android:https://image4.sixthtone.com/pkg/sixthtone.apk (Copy URL and open in browser)
