This Interministerial Order establishes the Wild Boar Plan. The National Plan for the Prevention, Control and Monitoring of Wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Brazil (Plano Javali) aims at controlling the territorial and demographic expansion of wild boar in Brazil and reducing their impact, especially in priority areas of environmental, social and economic interest. The Wild Boar Plan establishes actions for the prevention, control and monitoring of boar (Sus scrofa), in all its forms, lineages, breeds and different degrees of crossing with the domestic pig. In order to achieve its overall objective, the Wild Boar Plan, with a validity period up to January 2022 and with annual supervision and monitoring, has the following specific objectives: to review, create and strengthen normative instruments aiming at the establishment of integrated and adequate procedures for the effective control of wild boar; to prevent the geographical expansion of the boar in Brazil and its re-expansion in areas where the control of the species is put in place; to monitor the abundance, distribution and health status of wild boar populations, their socioeconomic and environmental impact, as well as the effectiveness of prevention and control activities; to mitigate the negative socio-economic and environmental impacts of boar invasion; to improve the process management and effectiveness of boar control; to generate technical-scientific knowledge and to train key-audience about the boar; to keep the society informed and sensitized about the risks represented by the boars and the actions necessary for prevention, control and monitoring. The Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply will be responsible for joint coordination of the Wild Boar Plan.
