The other threatened population is the one in Fennoscandia ( Norway, Sweden, Finland and Kola Peninsula ).
This population decreased drastically around the start of the 20th century as a result of extreme fur prices which caused severe hunting also during population lows.
The population has remained at a low density for more than 90 years, with additional reductions during the last decade.
The total population estimate for 1997 is around 60 adults in Sweden, 11 adults in Finland and 50 in Norway.
From Kola, there are indications of a similar situation, suggesting a population of around 20 adults.
The Fennoscandian population thus numbers a total of 140 breeding adults.
Even after local lemming peaks, the arctic fox population tends to collapse back to levels dangerously close to non-viability.
