Sweden is launching its wolf hunt to halve the population of the species, which is nevertheless endangered

“It is becoming increasingly difficult to live together with wolves,” the Swedish government believes. That is why the Scandinavian country has given hunters a permit to shoot around 30 wolves. And despite criticism from conservationists, they want to halve the wolf population in the long term. Hunters have already killed a dozen wolves in the first days of 2025.

“Het wordt moeilijker en moeilijker om samen te leven met wolven”, vindt de Zweedse overheid. Daarom heeft het Scandinavische land jagers een vergunning gegeven om zo’n 30 wolven af te schieten. En ondanks de kritiek van natuurbeschermers wil men op termijn de wolvenpopulatie zelfs halveren. Jagers hebben in de eerste dagen van 2025 al een tiental wolven gedood.
