A licensed lynx hunt scheduled to begin on Sunday, March 1, in Uppsala County, Sweden, has been temporarily stopped. According to reports from Sveriges Radio and Uppsala Nya Tidning, the decision by the County Administrative Board to permit the hunt has been appealed. While waiting for the case to be decided in the Administrative Court of Appeal, the hunt will remain suspended.
The temporary halt was announced on February 27, 2026, just days before the scheduled start of the hunting season. Both sources confirm that the hunt was set to begin on March 1, though they provide limited details about the specific reasons for the appeal or the number of lynx permits involved.
