Saving the species, one captive-born fox at a time.
Following two lean years at the Arctic fox captive breeding station at Sæterfjellet, Norway, six out of seven breeding pairs have a total of 34 pups. An uplifting success story.
For the first time, NINA researchers have recorded an Arctic fox giving birth. Now both they and you can follow the pups live via webcam from the Arctic fox breeding station in Oppdal, Norway.
DNA analyses are becoming an increasingly important method in research and nature management. To meet an increased demand from government and industry, the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) today opened NINAGEN, a national centre for conservation and biodiversity genetics in Trondheim.
NINA er en uavhengig stiftelse som forsker på natur og samspillet natur – samfunn.Følg oss på:
