The last 5 years (2018-2022) 351 bears have been shot in Gävleborg county and almost 2000 in the whole Sweden. These numbers are only for the licensed hunting. More bears have been shot if you include the protective hunting. And some of them have been lactated females, so you can probably also include young bears that has died because of the hunting.
Since 2017 its says that its 2900 bears in Sweden. A new number will be announced during 2023 as dropping inventory was done 2022.
We have seen the decreasing year by year. When we started the bear watching 2016, we had 12-15 individual bears. The last 2 years its been 1-3 individuals.
In Sweden a lot of animals are shot every year. Too many according to us. Lynx, wolf, bear, wolverine, moose and a lot of birds. At the same time the nature- and wildlife tourism are one of the best growing branches in Sweden. Although it doesnt make any sense as the forests and the animals are decreasing because of humans and the nature tourism are not allowed to get any space and are not listened to at all.
We will keep on fighting the way we can. By trying to show the nature and wildlife for guests. And spread the word about how Sweden behave with our nature. This is our mission and we wont give up!

Have you ever seen a wild lynx?
Not many have.
This photo is from a zoo.
I have seen 2 of them in the wild once. It was in the middle of the forest, a fantastic experience.
Today the lynx hunt started in Sweden. Of the 1400 we have, 201 are going to be killed.
Although 87% of Swedish people think we should leave them alone. Although according to EU regulations we are not allowed to hunt them. Today one of the lynx was killed in the forest where I use to be/hike/look for wildlife/pick mushrooms.
I feel ashamed of being a human. And ashamed to be Swedish.

White tailed eagle vs golden eagle.
In Swedish the golden eagle name is ”The king eagle”.
As far as I have seen, the golden eagle is always the King, always chasing white tailed eagles away.

My favourite animal; the brown bear.
If there is a life after this I wish to become a bear:
1. You should be as fat & hairy as possible
2. You should eat as much as you can, all day long
3. You sleep all winter
4. You give birth to tiny babies, you dont even feel it, almost in your sleep.
5. You have understood to be scared of the most terrifying race on the planet; humans.

Wish you all a beautiful Christmas!
May the Nature be with you!🌲

An early morning in a sleeping bag in the forest. All of a sudden a wolf stood in front of me. It came as close as 7-8 metres before it saw me. We had eye contact for a second before it disappeared. So unreal! I was in heaven for weeks after that! 😊👌🏻

Blue tit, a common little bird, thats very nice to watch & photograph. The blue head reflects ultraviolet, which they see very well. That helps the female to choose the most colourful male 😊
