Kerala Government Extends Wild Boar Culling Orders by One Year

The Kerala government has extended the validity of orders permitting controlled culling of wild boars by one year, until May 28, 2026. This decision follows recommendations from the Chief Wildlife Warden due to ongoing threats posed by wild boars to human life, property, and crops. Authorized local officials can grant permission for culling upon public complaints, with monthly reporting and quarterly government reviews mandated to monitor the situation.
