Cooperation for conservation of the Arctic fox is being extended and, for the first time ever, a joint programme of action for an endangered species
In February, the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) and the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) arranged a theme day which focused on the threats facing the Arctic fox.
Food waste, waste from gutting fish, hunting waste and litter left behind in the mountains attract red foxes, so we can all help to prevent this. Felles Fjellrev is today launching a campaign to remind those visiting the mountains to collect all their waste and take it away with them.
Last week, nine Arctic foxes, bred as part of the Arctic fox breeding programme implemented by the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), were released in the Sylarna mountain range in Norway..
Check out the fantastic clip from the Västerbotten County Administrative Board showing three blue, two white and three sand-coloured Arctic fox cubs playing together. Sand-coloured Arctic foxes are rare, so it’s even more exciting that they’ve been caught on film!
Felles Fjellrev is on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. Follow us for the latest updates from the project.
Felles Fjellrev initially started up in 2010 and has run in several rounds of funding in the years since then. Now it’s finally time for a new round of projects that will continue until October 2026!
