Nordelta, a well-known gated community north of Buenos Aires, has seen its capybara population proliferate from a few dozen to over 1,000 in three years, causing significant conflict with residents. Initially viewed sympathetically, these giant rodents now threaten pets and damage plants, leading to resident complaints and demands for action. The Buenos Aires government has responded by approving wildlife control measures, including sterilization and contraceptives, aiming to reduce their numbers. The capybaras thrive in Nordelta's vast green spaces and lakes, where they face no natural predators, allowing their rapid reproduction despite growing tensions with inhabitants.
Nordelta's capybara population has tripled in three years, leading residents to push for wildlife control measures to manage the growing conflict over living space.
