Damage caused by wild pigs is one of the greatest concerns to wildlife biologists and managers today. Wild pigs have the potential to cause ecological and economical destruction far surpassing any other invasive exotic vertebrate. The adaptive and prolific nature of these animals along with their capabilities for widespread devastation places their management as one of the top priorities for wildlife scientists. The International Wild Pig Conference is the only forum in the world that provides federal, state, and private stakeholders a venue to discuss biological, financial, and social implications specific to wild pig subsistence in our ecosystems. The conference will assemble experienced managers as well as those new to the wild pig industry in a professional, educational atmosphere.

The show will go on!

Loss of federal earmark funding to the Berryman Institute, former hosting organization of the International Wild Pig Conference, did put future continuation of the Wild Pig Conference in question. However, the College of Forest Resources at Mississippi State University, and more specifically, the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture, decided that the topics of wild pig management were too important to suspend conferencing. Therefore, the Conference will go on as planned! We hope that you will consider joining us in San Antonio as international forces converge to control this invasive species!
