The National Wild Pig Task Force (NWPTF) is a technical, scientific, and leadership alliance of state, federal, provincial, and private conservation partners working to reduce and eventually eradicate free-ranging populations of wild pigs in North America. Management of invasive wild pigs has arguably become one of the greatest wildlife management challenges facing natural resource professionals and landowners.  The damage these animals cause to forestry, agriculture, and natural resources throughout North America has been tremendous and is often measured in billions of dollars of damage each year.  Membership of the NWPTF consists of natural resource professionals employed by a state, provincial or federal agency, conservation group, or private company or is self-employed that has an interest in the reduction of wild pig populations.  The goals of the NWPTF are to provide national leadership and a collective voice for science-based control, damage reduction, and/or eradication of wild pigs, provide a forum for the exchange of information among the natural resource management field and among all relevant stakeholder groups
