For media professionals

Sweden’s large carnivores are under serious threat. The Swedish government is drastically raising the hunting quotas, including trophy hunting. At the same time as 69% of the Swedes are in favour of all the large carnivore species being around. Government is now actively working on bringing down the number of lynx, wolf, bear and wolverine as low as possible. Sweden’s new policy has already had worrying ripple effects on EU carnivore policies. It is urgent.
