Debating the Presence of Capybaras in Argentina

🐿️ The carpincho is the largest rodent native to South America, also known as the chigüiro ron shock or capivara.

🏡 In a gated community called Nordelta in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the overpopulation of carpinchos is causing issues for the 40,000 residents, who complain about their gardens being ruined and conflicts with their dogs.

🌱 The Nordelta neighborhood is discussing four potential solutions: creating habitats for the carpinchos, promoting vegetation-rich areas for their food source, raising awareness through campaigns, and seeking scientific advice.

Methods to prevent the mass reproduction and overcrowding of capybaras.

Silvia Vázquez, a candidate for the Green Party, suggests relocating some capybaras to the delta region.

The wetlands of the Paraná River delta are threatened by real estate and agricultural projects.

🦛 The environmental agency in Argentina is proposing to protect the carpinchos and their natural habitat.

🌳 The government doesn't have a clear plan, but they want to ensure the well-being of the wild animals and promote a healthy coexistence between the carpinchos and the people living in the area.

🏘️ The population of carpinchos in Nordelta, Argentina has been growing, and now the humans need to adapt to living with them.
