The Supreme Court has ruled that the Environmental Board's 2020 order authorizing wolf hunting was unlawful. The court found that the agency failed to properly consider the Bern Convention when issuing the quota. Under this international agreement, wolves were still subject to strict protection at the time of the order. Consequently, the authorization for hunting was deemed a violation of legal standards. This decision highlights the necessity for national agencies to align with international conservation treaties. The ruling effectively nullifies the legality of the 2020 hunting permissions.
