Wolves
were reintroduced to the region in the 1990s. The sole survivor of a
pack of 10 grey wolves being culled by hunters in Norway
has been offered protection by neighbouring Sweden.
The
Swedish Government
said it would welcome and protect the wolf, which is known as Martin,
if it crossed the 
border.
The move comes
after wildlife conservation groups in Norway
called on the Stockholm
government to, in effect, grant the animal political asylum. The pack
to which Martin
belonged was accused of killing sheep in the south-eastern Norwegion
region of Hedmark,
and a cull was ordered. Annette
Törnqvist,
a spokeswoman for the Swedish
Environment Ministry, said: "Mr
Martin is very
much welcome in Sweden.
"Wolves move freely over the border between Sweden
and Norway...
and if he comes to Sweden
he won't be killed because we don't have the same kind of hunt they
have in Norway.
"He won't need a passport or anything." The wolves were among
those reintroduced to the region in a joint Swedish-Norwegian
wolf re-population project in the 1990s.
