Abstract

Destroyed backyards, disturbed soccer stadiums and ravaged parks are just a few of problems wild boars cause in Berlin. Fear and feeding (9%) and an ambivalent public opinion about wild boars intensify the problem between humans and wild animals. Only the people concerned are considered in the analysis. The differing stakeholders, their concerns, opinions and behaviour (pro 37%, contra 23% ambivalent 36%) as well sources of information for the public have been examined. The main sources of information about wild boars for the public are: the press (64%), friends (57%) and television (56%). For this purpose, 485 questionnaires (return rate approximately 97%) collected at public events in Berlin City have been evaluated.
