This applies primarily to what will happen after the Swedish courts recently halted the licensed hunting of wolves in most of the wolf counties. The court order came after the environmental organizations appealed the Environmental Protection Agency’s previous decision to approve the hunt.
Ever since 2010 , politicians have tried to get into an organized licensed hunting, and although a number of wolves shot, have one attempt after another stopped.
the courts consider that there has not been an acceptable reason for conducting the hunt. In the background are also EU who never really accepted the Swedish government motives for the hunt.
– No one know what happens next. But we want the government to take a holistic approach and try to resolve the issue fundamentally, says Tom Arnbom, predators manager at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
The symposium will also the wolf situation in other European countries are addressed. Currently, it is good for the species. The number of wolves in Europe outside Russia, Belarus and Ukraine in the current situation some 12 000, a doubling compared to 30-40 years ago.
Since 1990, Sweden has followed the general trend. The tribe has gradually grown from a dozen animals to just over 400 wolves last winter.
But the situation is the wolf right now is unclear. Inventory team has, according to statistics from Viltskadecenter, found far fewer family groups this winter.
– There are rumors that poaching has increased, says Arnbom.
No one knows yet as long as this is true. But statistics show that the number of domestic animals were attacked by wolves fell from 422 to 290 between 2014 and 2015. While the attacks on hunting dogs were fewer.
