After an eight-month long run, there is now the prospect that the configuration of a 68-km-long vildsvinehegn along the Danish-German border at an estimated cost of almost 80 million is set in motion.

– If the weather has not changed so significantly that it can not be done, we expect that the first bead to drop down in the middle of January next year, says Bent Rasmussen, statsskovrider in the Danish Nature agency and the project manager for the construction of the fence, to the Extra Blade.

Thursday expect Exciting thus to be able to sign an agreement with the company that gets the contract to a value of in the region of 50 million crowns, learns ekstrabladet. Before that, the developer on the task – Beside – got the green light to the setup via the environmental protection Agency, contracts with the Danish and German state and a total of 80 landowners and after an EU tender, which has now been completed.

– I believe that we can justifiably say that the 80 private property owners (land owners) have got a very fair treatment, says Bent Rasmussen with regard to the land owners along the border all of which have received compensation equivalent to that they should give their land.

however, It is not the case, as vildsvinehegnet only set up temporarily, and in a way, so the land owners can still dispose of the earth, but of course with the inconvenience the fence may cause.

The one and a half metres high fence is expected to be finished next fall. Although several interest groups, such as the world wildlife fund and the Danish society for nature conservation has appealed the configuration of the fence to the EU, so that these complaints are not stopped the process, because they do not have suspensory effect.

According to Ekstra information keeps the total price of the fence itself well below the total of almost 80 million, which was budgeted in the spring.

– We have been generally satisfied with the process and planning until now, says Bent Rasmussen.

While the staging of the heavily debated fence thus approaching its beginning, the number of wild boar, with the risk to carry on the african swine fever has not decreased.

Despite the intensified hunting of wild boars assess the Nature agency, there are about 100 wild boars in the southern part of Jutland. It must be kept up against that shot 46 in the year, but still it is not succeeded to reduce the number in the wake of this spring’s focus on the risk of african swine fever.

the Danish Nature agency, which has the task to monitor and shoot vildsvinene, estimates that there now are about 100 wild boars in the southern part of Jutland. Thus, the number at the same level as a year ago. Despite the fact that there is launched several initiatives in order to remove the boar from the nature of the fear of the african swine fever, which could cost agriculture an export of about 11 billion dollars a year. Danish hunters have since march been allowed to hunt the boar of the night, and it has so far resulted in 46 downed pigs in 2018.

– We can see that there are more and more in the course of the year. For killed 46 pieces. Vildsvinene’ve got piglets, so if we had not done something, would amount to just have grown, says Inger Gillesberg, who is the local forester at the Danish Nature agency, to the Jutland west Coast.
