Climate change is affecting the arctic fox - numerous breeding programs are now allowing the population to grow again. At the turn of the millennium, only 50 wild arctic Foxes were said to be roaming around Sweden, Norway and Finland.
Today there are around 200 again in Sweden alone. According to WWF, 762 young animals were counted in the three countries in the summer of 2022 - a record. In addition, 164 burrows were documented, including one in Finland for the first time in 26 years.
