Peccaries vanished from Uruguay. A 17-year effort brought them back

Collared peccaries are returning to Uruguay after a century-long absence. The species disappeared locally in the late 1800s due to hunting and habitat loss. Conservationists began a careful reintroduction program around the year 2000. Camera traps and young animals confirm the species is establishing itself again. This effort aims to restore ecological functions and biodiversity in the country.
