“Sweden’s Big Five” is a carnivore protection project that provides news, facts, reports, links, story ideas, photos and videos for possible download, under certain conditions. To media professionals, influencers and decision makers who want to learn more and tell others about the facts around the five large carnivores in Sweden: the lynx, wolf, bear, wolverine and human.

“Sweden’s Big Five” is run by the Wild Wonders Foundation, in collaboration with the Swedish Carnivore Association and WWI. With support from the Sigrid Rausing Trust.
