SINGAPORE — Fences and structures known as cattle grids are being put up at Zhenghua Nature Park to reduce the incidence of wild boars entering public spaces, the National Parks Board (NParks) said on Friday (June 23).
Early in June, a 40-year-old Singaporean man was attacked by a wild boar at Zhenghua Nature Park while walking his dog.
The fences and grids have been installed at the Bangkit underpass along Zhenghua Nature Park, and will be installed along Chestnut Avenue and under the Gali Batu flyover. Asked whether sterilisation can be used to control the wild boar population, Mr Lee said: “Firstly, sterilisation requires time and intensive resourcing before any actual effect can be seen.
Besides physical structures, NParks has also been implementing other measures to manage the wild boar population, including educating the public not to feed the boars and controlling its population. Since 2019, around 50 boars within Zhenghua Nature Park have been culled.
