Sweden begins annual brown bear hunting, issuing 486 licenses, sparking concern from conservationists.
Sweden has started its annual brown bear hunting season, issuing 486 licenses allowing for the killing of the animals. Conservationists are concerned that this action may lead to a significant 20% decrease in Sweden's predator population, as the number of bears in the country has already been decreasing due to licensed hunting. The non-profit Swedish Carnivore Association urges the government to reconsider its approach to managing the country's brown bear population.
