Within the project we designed special hair traps, so that we could collect more genetic material of lynx. We prepared instructions on how to install hair traps and how to collect genetic material – hair. Hair trap is made of two parts: active coil spring and passive hair pad. A dedicated sampling kit was designed for each and prepared in Slovenian, Croatian and Italian language.
