    But it is canceled after the organizers received several threats, reports Örnsköldsvik’s Allehanda.

    At best, 10-15 percent of all animal species will have died out by the year 2100 – assuming global warming and habitat destruction are curbed.

    If we continue as we do today, 30 percent of animal species risk extinction.

    This is shown by two new studies, writes TT.

    The studies show that thousands of animal species are in the scales. The researchers have evaluated the situation of roughly 87,000 animal species – of which 3,877 are classified as acutely threatened.

    The family-owned candy manufacturer Bubs is bought by the Norwegian food giant Orkla, writes Gothenburg Post.

    Bubs manufactures some of the country’s most popular candies – not least the classic raspberry licorice shell.

    The journey began in Huskvarna in Småland in 1992 when Ulrik Lindström started candy production together with his older brother and his parents.

    The name Bubs comes from the family members Bernt, Ulrik, Birgitta and Stefan.

    The movement has grown strongly over the years and had a turnover of 211 million in the last financial year.

    – It has been a fantastically fun trip, but in the end we got a little fed up with all the investing. The downside is that the responsibility increases the better it goes, says Ulrik Lindström, production manager, to Göteborgs-Posten.

    The price for the sale is kept secret by the parties.
