To investigate the current status of wild boar population resources in Nanling County, Anhui Province, a camera-trapping survey was conducted from August 13 to October 13, 2021, covering 5 forested regions and agro-forestry ecotones including Hewan Town, where 40 infrared cameras were deployed. The monitoring results revealed that wild boars were recorded at 37 out of 40 camera sites, with only 3 locations failing to capture any wild boar activity. The estimated population density ranged between 1.83 and 2.46 individuals/km² across the five surveyed townships, yielding an average density of 2.145 individuals/km². These findings indicated that wild boars were widely distributed and highly active throughout the study area, the wild boar population density in certain areas required further control. This observed spatial variation in density may be attributed to differences in habitat quality and food resource availability, as well as varying levels of anthropogenic disturbance. Based on these results, implementing comprehensive management strategies including strengthened patrol monitoring systems, sustained public awareness campaigns, and tiered population control measures to effectively regulate wild boar densities were recommended. This study provides valuable references data for developing wild boar damage prevention and control measures in relevant regions.
