The Study On The Wildlife Damage In Hunchun,jilin Province And The Primary Research On Wild Boar Damage In China

In recent years,human-wildlife conflicts have been frequent and have had a huge impact on the local population.Sus scrofa damage is the most common human-wildlife conflict,which often brings huge economic losses.2021-2022 in Hunchun area,we conducted a study on the spatial-temporal characteristics of local wildlife damage through a combination of field survey and wildlife damage case records.Meanwhile,a preliminary study of wild boar damage nationwide was conducted using 121 literature data between 1956 and 2021.The results showed that:（1）There are four types of wildlife damage in the Hunchun area,Jilin Province:Sus scrofa and Anser spp.,Anas spp.damage to the crops;Prionailurus bengalensis,Panthera tigris altaica and Panthera pardus orientalis prey on poultry and livestock;Ursus thibetanus damage beehives;Sus scrofa and Panthera tigris altaica cause injuries to people;（2）Wildlife damage in the Hunchun area,Jilin Province occurs mostly in autumn,the number of cases in autumn during 2007-2022 is 5296,the number of wildlife damage cases accounted for73.6%,compensation amounted with 22,649,900 CNY,accounting for 56.4%of the total compensation,and the number of cases of damage to crops accounts for 88.4%of them,the amount of compensation accounted for 91.0%;（3）The number of cases of wildlife damaging crops,poultry and livestock,beehives,and human in Hunchun area,Jilin Province from 2007-2022 were 6161,452,87 and 11,86.0%,6.3%,1.2%,0.2%of the number of wildlife damage cases,the damage amounts were 30,723,200 CNY,7,874,100 CNY,1,331,200 CNY and 213,600,76.5%,19.6%,3.4%,0.5%of the compensation amount;（4）There are 10 townships and 106 villages in 13 townships and 113 villages in Hunchun area of Jilin Province where wildlife damage has occurred in 2007-2022.The amount compensation was the highest in Hadamen Town,followed by Chunhua Town and the third in Jingxin Town,which were 13,632,000 CNY,10,960,400 CNY and 6,013,500 CNY,33.9%、27.3%、15.0%of the compensation amount.The amount of compensation for losses caused by wild animals showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing with each year;（5）The temporal characteristics of crop damage by wild boars in China show small variations in losses and all are at a high level of damage.2000-2021 crop losses cover an area of1560.00±4766.67hm²/year and 25296500±122487600 CNY/year.;（6）From the spatiotemporal characteristics,wild boars damaging crop occurred mostly in autumn,about 50.0%of the total damage,and that in summer was next to in autumn,about 31.0%of the total damage;（7）From the temporal characteristics,Northeastern,South-central,Southwestern,Eastern,Northern and Northwestern China,the area of wild boars damaging farmland increased in turn,the most serious was Northwestern,the ratio of the area wild boars damaging farmland to the total area sown was（16.0±38.56）×10^-4,and the amount of wild boars damaging farmland was149106100±5221295 CNY;The least serious was Northeast,the ratio of the area wild boars damaging farmland to the total area sown was（1.63±4.39）×10^-4 and the amount of wild boars damaging farmland was 5913700±9671500 CNY.However,no significant differences were found in the ratio of the area wild boars damaging farmland to the total sown area in different regions（p>0.05）.The study provides temporal and spatial guidance for wildlife damage prevention and control in Hunchun area,and also provides reference for wildlife damage prevention and control in other areas;at the same time,it provides a basis for scientific and precise prevention and control of wild boar damage to crops in China,which helps to reduce the damage caused by wild boar damage to crops and effectively mitigate human-wild boar conflicts.
