To combat the spread, they’ve allocated €750,000 until 2030 for a reporting hotline and professional hunters. The national government aims for full eradication by 2027, blocking raccoons from crossing borders with Belgium and Germany. But Limburg’s blaming their neighbors—Germany already has over 1.5 million raccoons, Belgium tens of thousands—and says it’s time for coordinated action before this furry menace becomes a nationwide disaster. These critters, once brought to Europe for fur and pets, are now a cross-border ecological threat—and Limburg’s racing to stay ahead.
