Swedish regions receive varied wolf cull permits, with Örebro leading at 36
Örebro län will allow the shooting of 36 wolves, while Västmanland, Västra Götaland and Södermanland receive 18, 12 and 6 permits respectively; Värmland has none.
The highest number of authorized wolf kills this season is set for Örebro län at 36. Västmanland will permit 18 shootings, Västra Götaland 12, and Södermanland 6. In contrast, Värmland will see no wolf hunting. The previous year's licensed hunt was halted by a court after challenges from groups including Naturskyddsföreningen, following EU criticism of Sweden’s lowered population target.
Why it matters
The permits affect wolf conservation and hunting policy across multiple Swedish regions.
