In September, a representative of the Slovak LIFE Lynx project team from the Technical University in Zvolen, together with partners from the Bojnice National Zoo, implemented a working visit to Ukraine. The subject of the visit was the exchange of experiences with Ukrainian partners from WWF Ukraine and the University of Lviv, as well as the preparation and implementation of long-term systematic monitoring of the lynx and relevant conservation and management of this species in Ukraine. The result of the visit is a sound cooperation between the mentioned partners as well as the LIFE Lynx and LIFE Euro Large Carnivores projects and in particular the basis for the long-term viability of the lynx population in Ukraine and the entire Carpathians.
