Wild boars, once symbols of rural wilderness and vitality, have become increasingly entangled in conflicts with human activity across many European landscapes. In the agricultural heart of Rural Lombardy, this tension is particularly acute. As boar populations expand and their foraging behavior brings them into closer contact with farmland, infrastructure, and even residential areas, the challenge is no longer just ecological—it is social, economic, and ethical. This project was born from the belief that coexistence, not control, must define the future of human-wildlife interaction.

Our project is an intelligent, non-invasive deterrent system, a modular device that employs motion sensors, camera vision, light flashes, and acoustic stimuli, to gently redirect boars away from sensitive areas, such as crop fields and villages, without causing harm or fear-based stress.

This work lies at the intersection of design thinking, ecological sensitivity, and technological innovation, offering a scalable model of multispecies cohabitation. Through this project, we hope to contribute to a broader conversation: how can design mediate the friction between species in shared landscapes, not through exclusion, but through informed presence, mutual respect, and strategic interaction? We dedicate this work to the farmers, conservationists, and wild boars of Lombardy; all of whom deserve a future where their paths need not cross in conflict, but in coexistence.
