The hunter was attacked by a bear just outside of Klövsjö in the western Sweden province of Jämtland, Expressen reported. “The bear was reportedly shot when it attacked a hunter. The dead bear will be sent to the Swedish National Veterinary Institute (Statens veterinärmedicinska anstalt) for examination. The Swedish Species Information Centre announced in 2015 that the brown bear is once again at risk of becoming extinct , after previously dropping off the centre's annual 'red' watchlist. The centre reclassified the brown bear as an endangered species, citing hunting as the primary cause of the declining population.
