Nah, boars are still an important part of their local ecosystems.

For example, they are digging around the forest floor in search of food. This softens the dirt and improves plants’ ability to sprout.

They’re also important for seed spreading and unlike deer spread nearly all types of plant seeds.

Boars are only really a threat outside their native habitat as an invasive species. Well, that and to people hiking through the woods anywhere.
