Welcome to the gallery :)
Almost two years ago, the project reintroduced lynx in Western Pomerania began. The original range of this predator was throughout almost all of Europe, up to the Himalayas, unfortunately as a result of hunting and gradual deforestation, this species has been pushed to the eastern territories of our continent. In western Poland, the lynx was already exterminated in the 18th century.
Tracking the lynx is a difficult. The individuals that we released, were very cautious. A colleague, who took a photo, had the great pleasure to find an adult lynx female near Niekursk (Greater Poland Voivodeship).
