Biodiversité

LIFE Lynx aims to save the Dinaric-SE Alpine lynx population from extinction, and to safeguard the population well into the 21st century, by creating a population ‘stepping stone’ and by generating a new population nucleus further west of the current Dinaric population. The Dinaric-SE Alpine population will be reinforced with the release of animals from a viable source population from the Carpathians, so that inbreeding will be reduced to an acceptable level to reverse the population decline. Conservation management will be developed at the transboundary level to ensure long-term viability of the reinforced lynx population.
