The Swedish government decided to reduce the wolf population from 355 to 220 individuals. In 2027, five Swedish administrative regions initiated a joint hunt for 72 wolves, a higher figure than in previous years. This scale of Swedish hunting decisions led to a lawsuit. The Wolf Foundation filed an appeal in Sweden against plans to shoot 72 wolves in five counties where decisions were made. The animal welfare organization calls for a thorough examination of the effect of the planned extermination on the wolf population.
