Collared Peccaries Return to Uruguay After 100 Years in 17-Year Conservation Effort

·1 viewsCollared peccaries, absent from Uruguay for roughly a century, are making a comeback thanks to a long-running reintroduction program. The species had disappeared from the country in the late 1800s due to overhunting and habitat destruction. Conservationists launched a carefully managed reintroduction initiative around the year 2000 to reverse this local extinction. Evidence from camera traps and observations of young animals indicate the species is successfully re-establishing itself. The program's broader goal is to restore biodiversity and revive the ecological roles these animals once played in Uruguay.
