We prepared updated versions of habitat suitability maps, a revised report, and the newly generated GIS files. We managed to acquire more lynx occurrence data from the Alpine region and with this improve the accuracy of habitat suitability predictions for lynx in the Alps. Having good occurrence data means that the data is accurate, precise, and representative of the species’ distribution. By combining multiple sources of...

LIFE Lynx project partner, the University of Ljubljana, organised an educational seminar titled Integrating Spatial Characteristics and Habitat Connectivity for the Eurasian Lynx in Spatial Planning. The seminar was aimed at decision-makers and professionals involved in spatial planning, protected area management or forest and wildlife management. In a series of five lectures, we presented the characteristics and suitability of space...

Experts from LIFE Lynx took part in educational seminar for spatial planners that was organized by LIFE DINALP BEAR project in April. Participants learned about behavioral characteristics of lynx and habitats critical for lynx conservation in Slovenia. As lynx generally avoids anthropogenic disturbances, habitat fragmentation represents a big threat. This makes preservation of habitat connectivity even more crucial. Slovenia currently...
Read MoreIntegration of Potential Lynx Habitat Connectivity and Suitability into National and International Spatial Planning Successful reinforcement and long-term viability of lynx in the SE Alps and Dinaric Mts. is in part dependent on demographic exchange and gene flow between populations. The goal of this action is to identify and integrate spatial information on lynx habitat connectivity into national and international-level planning....
