The wolf pairs that are going to form the territory north of Junsele towards the border of Vasterbotten will not be allowed to remain there.
After a meeting with the Sami communities of winter grazing of reindeer in the area says Ruona Burman, wildlife coordinator at the Environmental Protection Agency that she wants the wolves moved. Female wolf has certainly been anesthetized three times before and this is the limit, researchers say, but Sami villages require relocation or culling.
- We have discussed with the Sami villages if there are conditions for the wolves would remain in the area, says Ruona Bergman.
But early on it became clear that it would not be possible.
- The requirement of reindeer is that the wolves moved, if not, it will immediately act on applications for culling.
One problem here is that the female wolf, who wandered in from Finland at the beginning of the year, already sedated and moved three times. Researchers have set the limit of anesthesia to the right three times. Now the Environmental Protection Agency to discuss with researchers whether it is worth making an exception, what you want about the genes that female wolf carries.
- My hope is that the wolf pair will get pups in the spring, says Ruona Bergman, but it must be done in a different area.
Another problem is that the bitch after being sedated three times before possibly additional shy and hiding when a helicopter approaches. Even before the weekend, the decision taken at the Environmental Protection Agency on the measures to be taken.
