Romanian LIFE Lynx team started the new lynx capturing season with great success. Just after 3 days since the activation of box traps, they captured a lynx. A healthy 5-6-year-old male lynx will be the new inhabitant of the quarantine enclosure in Romania and he will stay there for at least 30 days. After that, the lynx will be translocated to Croatia, to the Paklenica National Park.

We already have minimally two lynx individuals living in the Paklenica National Park and the new individual introduced in the population should help strengthen the already genetically weakened population.

Currently, the Croatian lynx population is small, isolated, and extremely inbred. It urgently needs reinforcement by introducing additional, healthy animals from another population.
