If it delights Obélix, the boar causes a lot of damage in urban and peri-urban areas.
Overturned gardens, spoiled crops, torn fences are the most common, but its tendency to cross roads at any time can also cause serious accidents.
As wild boars are more and more numerous in the metropolis of Lyon, the Rhône prefecture decided to launch a reporting system on Tuesday.
It will suffice for observers to report the place where wild boars are observed on a dedicated site.
For an adapted regulation
The information collected will be processed in collaboration between the departmental directorate of the Territories of the Rhône, the metropolis of Lyon, the municipalities concerned, the managers of roads or transport and the public security services.
These data will be used to better understand the presence and movement of wild boars, in order to make regulations to avoid major damage in public, industrial and private spaces.
