Wolves

In Finland, there are about 200 wolves

According to the Center for Natural Resources, the difference in the number of wolves between the eastern and western regions of the country has decreased.

According to estimates by the Natural Resources Center, the wolf population has increased by 10% since last year. The fastest growth was recorded in Eastern Finland.

Despite a slight reduction in the number of packs in Western Finland, more wolves still live in the west than in the east of the country.

In March of this year in Finland there were 19 packs of wolves that live only on the territory of Finland. In addition, five more flocks live on both sides of the Finnish-Russian border.

In total, there are 185-205 wolves in Finland, which is 10% more than a year earlier.

The calculation was carried out in March, before the birth of new wolf cubs. The wolf population is estimated to have peaked at the end of May. After that, it will begin to decline due to the high mortality of the young.
