The aim of this study is to reveal the massive involution of wild boar herds in Romania and especially in Dobrogea area. Everybody knows about the effects of the African swine fever on wild boar herds, but no one talks about the impact it has on the environment. In the current conditions, there would have been the possibility to intervene and to populate with animals raised in these hunting complexes. The study focused on the Dobrogea area because it was the first and most affected area of the country. We analyze the official data from national evaluation of sedentary game in Dobrogea area, more exactly Constanta and Tulcea County. Hunting territories in these two counties are managed by National Forest Authority, county associations of hunters and other associations for conservation of biodiversity and management of hunting territories. We analyze wild boar real effective between 2018 and 2021 by counties, by sexes, and in comparison with optimal effective (maximal number of individuals who can leave in a hunting area, without causing damage to the agricultural fields or in the forest).
