In part two of our conversation, we continues speaking with Daniel Ligné from the Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management, shifting the discussion toward modern challenges in wildlife management and hunting culture.
We begin by exploring hunting with dogs — including cultural differences in dog hunting traditions, pack versus solo hunting strategies, and the ethical considerations around dog welfare and hunting conditions.
From there, the conversation turns toward predator management and the realities of living alongside species like the gray wolf, Eurasian lynx, and wolverine. Daniel explains how science, politics, and public perception all influence wildlife policy in Sweden.
We also discuss human–wildlife conflict, wolves and hunting dogs, and how modern technology and monitoring systems are shaping wildlife research and management.
Finally, the discussion looks ahead — examining how hunters contribute to ecosystem health, how public perception of hunting is evolving, and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead for the next generation.
