"Keeping the Wolf from the Door": a report by Mervi Laaksonen and Luonto-Liiton susiryhmä
An analysis of derogation-based wolf hunting licenses granted in the years 2016-2017 presented to the European Commission.
According to European legislation, wolves are a strictly protected species and their hunting is not allowed. There is however the possibility -in very exceptional situations- to request a hunting permit as long all possible non-lethal alternatives have been tried. Is the law being followed in Finland?
Luonto-Liitto on vuonna 1943 perustettu lasten ja nuorten luonnonharrastus- ja ympäristönsuojelujärjestö. Tavoitteenamme on yhteiskunta, jossa arvostetaan luonnon moninaisuutta ja sen itseisarvoa.
