The Harz lynx project
An old inhabitant of the Harz has returned!
The last wild lynx of the Harz was shot some 200 years ago. Since 2000 there has been a repopulation programme, which has been successful: the animals wander through the whole Harz area and have settled in well and there have already been several cases of natural reproduction.
For further information (in German) about the Harz lynx project, please visit the following website: www.luchsprojekt-harz.de. Here you can also see the wandering routes of some lynx which have been equipped with transmitters.
