Many volunteers are included in the implementation of our project and we are truly grateful for their help. We are especially happy to host interns and share our passion and knowledge with future professionals in nature conservation.

Laurie described her internship: “My objective was to estimate the size of the Eurasian lynx population in Croatia using camera trap data and spatial capture-recapture modelling. Apart from my computer modelling job, I had the great opportunity to participate in fieldwork such as camera trap management, live-capture of lynx and necropsies; and also, to attend the translocations of a lynx. This was an incredible experience, both professionally and personally. Croatia is a beautiful country with numerous natural-preserved areas and an incredible fauna for which I am happy to have participate in its conservation.”
Last week Laurie successfully finished her internship report that can be found here:
