Flox Deploys at Stureby Farm to Protect Livestock from Wolf Attacks

In light of the tragic wolf attack that occurred near Karlsborg last Friday, resulting in the death of 21 sheep, Flox is proud to announce the immediate deployment of our advanced wildlife management technology at Stureby Livestock Farm. The attack, which saw a single wolf wreak havoc, left the farming community in shock and highlighted the urgent need for effective wildlife protection measures.

 

On Saturday, just one day after the attack, Flox took swift action by installing our state-of-the-art stationary platforms at the Stureby Livestock Farm. This rapid deployment underscores our commitment to protecting livestock and supporting farmers in their efforts to safeguard their animals and help facilitate co-adaptation to wolf presence.

 

 

Our wildlife management technology involves multiple stationary platforms designed to protect livestock in real-time by deterring wolves and other carnivores from the protected area. Equipped with advanced sensors and AI-driven technology, these platforms can detect the presence of predators and take immediate action. By providing constant surveillance and immediate response capabilities, Flox aims to prevent further tragedies like the one experienced in Karlsborg.

 

This deployment at Stureby is conducted in collaboration with Dialogues, the EU Carnivore Platform, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Together, we are working to implement innovative solutions that ensure the safety and well-being of livestock in areas with carnivore presence.

The recent attack in Undenäs, Karlsborg, which left the local farming community reeling, serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by livestock owners in such regions. The incident involved a young female wolf and resulted in horrific scenes, with sheep suffering severe injuries that led to their euthanasia. With numerous wolf packs in the vicinity, the threat to livestock remains high, necessitating innovative solutions to ensure their safety.

Flox’s deployment at Stureby marks a significant step forward in livestock protection. Our technology not only enhances the security of the animals but also provides peace of mind to farmers who have dedicated their lives to animal husbandry. By leveraging cutting-edge wildlife management technology, Flox is helping to create a safer environment for both livestock and carnivores.
