This year’s wolf inventory is under way and what is new this year is that all found wolf droppings should be DNA analyzed.
The responses from DNA analysis provides a better understanding of the individuals, but also allows those who found the droppings can get to know the wolf origin.
The Predators Officer of the provincial government Maria Falkevik is out in the woods to watch and monitor the inventory is in complete
“A young wolf can in this way be identified even if it shows up in other places in the country, or Norway. Then maybe it is a territorial marking wolf.”
A male wolf from the Kroppefjell in Dalsland which last year was in Glaskogen has in this way been able to be identified to be west of Östmark right now with other wolves that are marking the territory.
“What it means we do not know yet,” says Maria Falkevik.
The County Board would like to have the clue from wolf droppings and then recommended the app Skandobs-Touch, which then sends the image and the coordinates of the location of where all wolf tracks were.
