Foderautomater opsat af Länsstyrelsen i Västerbotten har hjulpet fjeldræve i Västerbotten-fjeldene med at finde føde. Arten var tæt på udryddelse i slutningen af 1990'erne, men bevaringsindsatsen har båret frugt, og der er nu omkring 277 voksne individer i Sverige.

Fjeldrævene i Västerbotten var tæt på udryddelse i slutningen af 1990'erne. Arten er stadig truet og rødlistet med lave bestandstal, men supplerende tiltag har givet resultater. Ifølge ArtDatabanken er der omkring 277 voksne fjeldræve i Sverige, hvilket er en stigning fra 165 for fem år siden. Foderautomater er blevet placeret af Länsstyrelsen i Västerbotten i Västerbotten-fjeldene. De er designet således, at kun fjeldræve kan få adgang til maden – rødræve og jerve er for store. Foderautomaterne er en særlig hjælp i år med mangel på mosegrise og lemlinger. "Fjeldrævene er blevet flere, de finder mad, selv når der er mangel på mosegrise," siger Åsa Granberg fra Länsstyrelsen i Västerbotten til SVT Västerbotten.
