The hunter Ingemar in Sundsvall testifies to a weakened moose population – this is how climate change is felt

He is concerned about the survival of the moose tribe.

– It is clear that you are worried about it. You have always been able to hunt moose.

For more than 40 years he has hunted and for 30 years trained in hunting qualifications.

– I don’t know how big an impact the heat has, but if you think about the size of the trunk, the roughness of the animals and the health of the animals, there have been lighter calves.

According to SLU, the moose population in the four northernmost counties has decreased by an average of one third and in some areas halved since the new moose administration was introduced in 2012.

“Almost no large animals left”

– You could say that the trunk is torn apart. There are almost no large animals left. It is extremely rare to see a big, powerful bull now, says Ingemar Fagerström, who hunts in five different areas in Västernorrland.

Above all, the reduction is due to hunting to reduce forest damage.

But now the researchers also see that the climate affects the moose.

In the video, Ingemar gives suggestions that he believes can help the moose tribe become stronger.
