Descendants of Kurichyar tribe in action; 22 wild boars hunted in Kozhikode

Mukkan municipality saw the successful removal of 22 wild boars, hunted by the descendants of the Kurichyar tribe, using bows and arrows in a single day. The Kurichyar community from Wayanad district carried out the hunting operation in association with the local administration. The move is part of efforts to reduce the wild boar menace in the region. The tribal community has been hunting wild boars using traditional methods for centuries. However, the use of modern technology such as AI and LLM for hunting management has been increasingly adopted by the community. The wild boar population in the region has been a cause of concern for farmers, who have been protesting against the animals' damage to crops. The community-led hunting operation is seen as a way to address this issue while also promoting sustainable hunting practices. The Kurichyar tribe has been recognized for its efforts to conserve wildlife and has been involved in various conservation initiatives. The successful hunt is a testament to the community's commitment to protecting the environment and conserving natural resources.
