They are very vulnerable and well protected. It is not allowed to guide on arctic foxes in Norway. We might be lucky and see them on our tours, but the chances are minimal.
For us the arctic foxes are like diamonds in the mountain. We just had to show you some photos so you also can fall in love with these threatened, amazing and magnificent, small foxes.
The arctic fox is a critically endangered species in Norway and Sweden. There are around 300 arctic foxes in all of Norway, at the moment.
The Norwegian government started a breeding program together with NINA, Norsk Institutt for Naturforskning, in 2005. You can read about the program and learn more about the arctic foxes here: Nina.no/fjellrev
