​​We would especially like to thank all the researchers, field staff, volunteers, PhD students, Masters students, and undergraduates who have put in so many hours of data collection and analysis over the years. Without their dedication, it would not have been possible for the project to generate all the data and knowledge gained over the past four decades. We would also like to thank our long-term partners and funders, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the Norwegian Environment Agency, whose continuous support has provided the foundation for this unique and long-term research project. Special thanks to the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, the Swedish Hunters' Association, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences for their administration and support of the project, to the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, University of Southeastern Norway, University of Inland Norway for all their work and contribitions, and all the staff in the administration at both national and regional levels who have supported the project throughout these years.
