Wildlife project to save endangered species in Sweden
- The Arctic fox and the hedgehog are endangered species or nearly endangered species that are in focus in a wildlife project that is supposed to help reverse their dwindling numbers.
- The Swedish WWF and the wildlife trust Norden’s Ark have received funding for the four-year-project.
- ”It’s really a dream come true for us to be able to do this for the species,” says Therese Wåtz, species expert with the Swedish WWF to Radio Sweden.
