The government wants to know the minimum number of large carnivores we may have in Sweden, but that the species’ survival is not threatened. The EPA has therefore been commissioned to investigate the issue with the help of scientists.
According to Environment Minister Lena Ek data on minimum viable population is needed in order to define what is called a favorable conservation status. The result for the wolf is to be presented on 2 July this year, and for bears, wolverines and lynx January 15, 2013.
