Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • The **wolf hunt** in Sweden commences as the government seeks to reduce the **endangered wolf population** by half, totaling up to **30 wolves**.
  • This action has been criticized as **illegal under EU law**, which prevents the population of protected species from declining below sustainable levels.
  • Currently, there are **375 wolves** in Sweden, a **20% decline from the previous year**, with the government aiming for a new minimum population of **170 wolves**.
  • Critics argue this decision could severely jeopardize the fragile wolf population, which has faced historic overhunting threats.
  • There is a broader trend in the **EU** towards **loosening** protections for wolves, prompting fears for the overall wildlife balance in Europe.
