The Arctic fox, once on the brink of extinction in Scandinavia, is making a remarkable comeback.

Threatened by hunting and climate change, the animals’ population had dwindled to just a few dozen individuals in the 2000s.

Thanks to a long-term reintroduction programme, their numbers have now grown to 550, showing signs of recovery.

Researchers are optimistic about the future, aiming to double the Arctic fox population within the next 25 years.

The journey of these snow-white survivors is closely monitored by Down to Earth and France 2 colleagues.

The comeback of the Arctic fox is a testament to the power of conservation efforts and resilience of nature.

The delicate balance of ecosystems and the impact of human activities on wildlife are highlighted in this success story.

The Arctic fox’s resurgence serves as a beacon of hope for other endangered species facing similar challenges.

Through collective efforts and awareness, we can continue to protect and preserve the diverse wildlife of our planet.
