#11 LIFE Lynx - Slovenia 🇸🇮
Listen now
Description
Whilst Eurasian lynx still have strongholds in the east of their range, subpopulations in western Europe have long been under threat. In the Dinaric Alps of Slovenia, these elusive felines are now considered endangered. So how do you go about saving the ghost of the forest? How do you even start to help an animal that does not wish to be seen? A transboundary initiative has been pulling together expertise from across the continent to bring the population back from the brink. LIFE Lynx is a member of the European Rewilding Network, a collection of groundbreaking initiatives across the continent, brought together by Rewilding Europe as part of a broader rewilding movement.
