At the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency you have an understanding of the frustration.
- Of course, it has become an unfortunate situation in Jämtland. There is a concern that they are locking in dense wolverines, which causes great damage, especially to the reindeer industry in Jämtland, says the manager Mikael Wallén to Sweden Radio.
