Sweden doles out wolf hunting licenses to manage once-endangered population
From Straight Arrow News:
Sweden’s once-endangered wolf population is making a comeback, stirring debate over how best to manage the species. While conservationists are celebrating the population’s growth, the Swedish government is calling for it to be halved.
On Thursday, Jan. 2, the government issued a license to hunt, allowing hunters to kill up to 30 wolves across five territories to reduce the population, which currently stands at 375. This move aligns with the European Commission’s goal to loosen protections for wolves across the continent.
