The WPSG aims to ensure that all species of wild pig have viable populations and that the most threatened species are saved from extinction. This will be achieved by following an integrated approach to managing wild and captive populations. A cornerstone for this is the knowledge of the taxonomy and distribution of species. We do not exclude any species from essential research and monitoring, as it is well known that even common species can become threatened ...
The 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 SSC Wild Pig Specialist Group uses a combination of strategies to try to reduce these听population declines. This primarily includes (1) research on taxonomy and distribution (the cornerstone of any conservation management), and (2) management of captive and wild populations to prevent the extinction of the most threatened species.
The WPSG focuses amongst others on understanding existing and emerging threats to wild pig species globally, investigates the taxonomy and assesses the distribution of wild pigs as a basis for conservation action, and initiates collaborative conservation efforts to save the most threatened species from extinction.
Suids face both known and emerging threats (e.g. African Swine Fever), on a local and global level.
To inform conservation efforts, we need reliable and updated data on taxonomy and distribution.

Active conservation efforts for threatened species. Most Asian suid species are threatened by extinction and need appropriate active conservation support 听
