Wolf genetic variation in Scandinavia isn't too great, Northern Sweden/Finland functions as a corridor for wolves to get into the western part of Scandinavia, the area where the Saami also live, AND their tame reindeer population. Swedish government ought to fix this situation. There are many brown bears in western Scandinavia but when it comes to wolves there seems to be an anti-wolf sentiment, with cheering going on for wolf hunting. They don't even have many wolves at all.
