Critically endangered Arctic fox breeds successfully in Finland
This summer, a long-awaited turn took place during the Arctic fox nesting inspections, when the Arctic fox was found to have successfully breeded, in the Enontekiö fell area in Northern Lapland. The on-the-spot inspection revealed three cubs had been born to the Arctic fox couple. This is the first time in over 25 years the Arctic fox successfully breeds in Finland.
