In Nordelta, a luxury suburb near Buenos Aires, the capybara population has reportedly increased to over 1,000 in three years, prompting a debate on wildlife management. The Buenos Aires government is implementing population control plans, including sterilisation and contraceptives, to manage their numbers. Residents express concerns over interactions between capybaras and other animals, as well as traffic incidents. However, some, including the Nordelta Capybaras advocacy group, dispute the overpopulation claims and seek alternative solutions, pushing for the establishment of protected areas and biological corridors to ensure capybara survival and coexistence with their environment.
The excessive growth of capybara populations in Nordelta is causing fights among them and with dogs, leading to traffic accidents, according to local residents.
The Buenos Aires government has approved wildlife population control plans, including selective sterilisation and contraceptives, to manage the capybara population in Nordelta.
