Advances in the Struggle Against African Swine Fever

In a recent development, Wiesbaden, a city in Germany, has established a "White Zone" in the Schiersteiner Aue to contain the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF) and protect surrounding areas. The new zone, visible through newly erected fences, will consist of two solid fences and will be intensively searched for mn wild.

The Schiersteiner Aue, now part of the "White Zone", is a popular spot for many residents and visitors. However, some changes are coming into effect. Pedestrians are required to stay on designated paths within the area, and dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.

Farmers and hunters can look forward to further easements within the "White Zone**. The exact nature of these easements has not been disclosed yet. Intensive wild boar hunting is planned within the zone, but no specific details have been provided.

In addition, increased drone flights are expected within the "White Zone" to monitor the wild boar population and the effectiveness of the protective measures. The responsible authority for carrying out these measures has not been explicitly stated in the press release.

The completion of the fencing of the "White Zone" is scheduled for early October. No new information about the purpose of the "White Zone" or the protection it provides was provided in the press release.

For more information, please visit the website of the Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, where you can find contact information for the responsible department or office. It is important to stay informed and follow the guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of both the community and the wildlife.
