The Lynx's 'Waterloo'?

The, once widely-ranging, Eurasian lynx is currently threatened by many factors including habitat destruction, reduced genetic diversity, road traffic accidents etc. The Swedish government have now issued their hunters with licences to kill a further 201 of these animals (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/02/hundreds-of-lynx-to-be-hunted-in-sweden-following-biggest-ever-wolf-cull). Most people (even the hunters), accept the lynx poses at most a minimal threat to livestock and people. This cull is consequently totally unrelated to 'safety'. The current Swedish enthusiasm for pursuing the lynx with dogs, appears entirely driven by hunter excitement and/or a desire to gather trophies (skins). This current, approved lynx hunt, closely follows Sweden's biggest ever wolf 'cull'. Sweden certainly seems to 'have it in' for any resident predator animals. How does any of this sit, with the expressed EU imperative to boost/maintain biodiversity?
