SE: Wolf will stay in reindeer area

Roughly translated by TWIN Observer

STOCKHOLM / TT

A wolf who is in a grazing area in Västernorrland may remain. The wolf has been moved three times previously from grazing areas, but the Environmental Protection Agency has decided that the wolf is not to be moved a fourth time.

The female is considered to have important genetic traits, and has formed territory with a male in the area, which can lead to the couple having a wolf litter in the spring.

The government on Thursday gave the Environmental Protection Agency a mandate to conduct a dialogue with villages in the area to find a solution so that the wolf pair may continue staying there.

The applications for the hunting of wolves submitted to the authority will be rejected, writes the Environmental Protection Agency in a statement.
