Damyang-gun Enhances Transparency and Fairness, Establishes Reward Guidelines for Capturing Harmful Wild Animals

Reward Amount Adjusted to an Average of 60,000 Won in Jeonnam, Verification Process Strengthened

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang County has established clear guidelines for the payment of rewards for capturing harmful wild animals to enhance transparency and fairness in the payment process.

According to the county on the 25th, the reward for each wild boar, which was 100,000 won last year, has been adjusted to 60,000 won, the average reward amount in Jeonnam Province, while the reward for water deer remains at 30,000 won as before.

Additionally, the verification process will be strengthened to prevent fraudulent claims when reporting wild boar captures.

A CCTV will be installed in front of the FRP storage tank at the landfill site established for carcass disposal, and wild boars must be processed under the supervision of staff upon arrival.

When applying for the reward, applicants must submit photos showing the captured wild boar with an identification tag attached, a photo of the carcass with the head facing left and a serial number written on the body, and photos taken before and after burial or during the rendering process to be eligible for the reward payment.

The guidelines will apply to wild boars captured from August 1 onward.

A county official stated, “We will regularly provide the mobile harmful wildlife capture team with training on how to secure evidence for reward claims, carcass disposal procedures, and firearm safety to ensure accurate payment of rewards.”
