Albertans asked to squeal on pigs to help eradicate Wild Boars - ReachFM: Peace Country s hub for local and Christian news, and adult contemporary Christian programming

Photo supplied: FortSaskOnline An invasive species is threatening crops, waterways and small animals in the area.  While many may have heard about parts of the United States being overrun by herds of wild boars, some would be surprised to find out that central Alberta is a hotspot for the destructive hogs as well.  Introduced in the 80s and 90s, the boars originally were intended to help diversify Alberta’s agriculture. The boars were meant for meat or hunting farms where people could hunt them in an enclosed area.  “In doing so, we bred this wild animal with domesticated pigs and created this mega invasive species that has all of the traits of both. So it’s a wild animal, but it breeds really fast, is really big and has lots of offspring,” said Megan Evans, executive director with the Alberta Invasive Species Council.

What is a gene drive?

4 June 2021 / What is a gene drive? The NSW Government has funded a genetic biocontrol solution to the current mouse plague. What does it all mean? Credit: Tetra Images/Getty Images As part of its $50 million mouse control package, announced in May, the NSW Government yesterday committed $1.8 million to “breakthrough genetic biocontrol research” – a three-year program to identify “fast-acting gene drives”. What does that mean? Sometimes a population of animals becomes problematically large, leading to rampant disease or plague: reference the current mouse plague. One way of curbing the population is to use genetic technology, such as a gene drive. A gene drive is a process that pushes certain genes to be inherited in populations when two organisms breed.
