According to an EU regulation, Sweden must take swift and effective measures to combat the animals that are included in the EU list of invasive alien species. Therefore, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has decided to hunt all over the country from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2021.

Big threats

There are a number of specially appointed hunters who will be on the hunt, which will also take place in the hunting areas of others. However, hunting rights holders and landowners should be notified before hunting if possible.

According to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's decision, it is very important to stop the foreign species from establishing themselves in Sweden, as they risk causing major damage to the native flora and fauna. However, it is not entirely certain that everyone is in Sweden.
