Timeline showing legislative decisions and commissions on wild boar during the period 1981–2022. Two early parliament decisions, marked by arrows, illustrate a key policy shift. First a decision stating that the population should be eradicated, second a decision that wild boar is part of the native fauna and should be allowed in restricted extent. Topics are indicated by bar colours. The estimated harvest of wild boar in Sweden is indicated by the solid grey line. Each number corresponds to a section in Table 1
