Brief description:

The objective of this project is to develop and try out ways of promoting the establishment and spread of lynx populations in Germany. The work is to be performed in a coordinated network of regional sub-projects.

In a preliminary study, data is collated and analysed on the status of lynx populations and lynx management in the German Länder and neighbouring countries. The preliminary study is thus a key part of the project as a whole, providing information needed for subsequent decisions on what action is to be taken and where, including on the regions best suited for trials focusing on specific issues.
