Recently, the Tengchong Branch of the Baoshan Management and Conservation Bureau of Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve found a set of wild boar data when sorting out infrared camera data. The data shows that from November 3, 2020 to March 29, 2021, the wild boar herd frequently visited the infrared camera and took clear images of the wild boar herd 9 times. From the analysis of individual and morphological characteristics taken by infrared cameras, at least 7 wild boars were active in this area, and more importantly, 3 wild boar pups were also photographed. This population has larval, sub-adult, adult, individual health, and normal population structure.
Subsequently, the Tengchong sub-bureau continued to sort out the infrared camera data of each station, and the data collected showed that wild boars were widely distributed on the western slope of Gaoligong Mountain, from the jurisdiction of Mingguang Town Autonomous Station in the north of Tengchong, the jurisdiction of Datang Station, the jurisdiction of Jietou Station, the jurisdiction of Qushi Station to the jurisdiction of Dahaoping Station in the south, and the jurisdiction of Wuhe Township, and the population showed a significant growth trend.
