SLU Researchers Complete Multi-Year Moose Tracking Project in Junsele
Key Points
  • Researchers tracked over 30 moose with GPS collars around Junsele for several years to study migration.
  • The project aimed to understand how climate change, seasons, and human land use affect moose movement.
  • A final report compiling the findings is expected to be released in the autumn.

According to sources, the research has been ongoing for several years and expanded over time. A total of over 30 moose were equipped with GPS collars and their movements were tracked around the clock, year-round. In February, the moose were located one last time, sedated, and the collars were removed.

The project is now completed and the knowledge is to be compiled. The next step involves compiling the information and seeing what it can reveal about the lives of the Junsele moose. A final report with the results is expected to be ready in the autumn.

The specific findings about moose migration patterns have not yet been released. How climate change, seasonal variations, and human land use specifically affected the moose in Junsele remains to be detailed in the final report. The moose migration had 478 hours of live broadcast, though the detailed results from this broadcast are not yet available.

New research from SLU shows emotional closeness to nature. There was a strong moose year and unusually many bears.
