date:  19/12/2023

The LIFE Lynx project is ending in March next year. The project has reached its main goal: the translocation of 18 lynxes to Slovenia and Croatia has improved the genetic and demographic outlook of the Dinaric-SE Alpine Lynx Population. Most translocated individuals were successfully included into the population and to date, 19 reproductions were detected. The whole process was a joint effort of project team members and key stakeholders; hunters, local inhabitants, nature conservationists, and foresters. In addition to lynx translocations, the international team was also monitoring the lynx, preventing illegal killing of wildlife, and promoting acceptance of the large carnivore among the local people.
