Lynx

The Iberian lynx, once on the brink of extinction, has made a remarkable recovery and is no longer considered critically endangered.

For years, the Balkan lynx has struggled to survive as deforestation destroyed its habitat and poachers targeted the elusive mountain cat along with the animals it relies on for food.

Slovenian forests have welcomed another male lynx from Slovakia. Lukaš was released into the forests in the north-western Gorenjska region on 19 April to join three female and one male lynx in the region.

On March 25, we will turn off the lights for an hour to support the planet, but at the same time we are shining a light on the problem of the limited habitats of wild animals in Bulgaria.

Slovenia has one the largest brown bear populations in Europe and it is not uncommon to spot one walking in the woods or even in settled areas. Like the wolf and the lynx, the brown bear is a protected species, but the population is managed by culling. Last year, 206 bears were culled.

The ministry also said that Russian forces had destroyed a U.S.-supplied HIMARS rocket system

Ilirska Bistrica – An adult male lynx arrived from the Carpathian Mountains in Romania to the Snežnik plateau on Friday and is adjusting to the new environment in an enclosure. It is the ninth lynx to have arrived from Romania, said partners to the LIFE Lynx project, striving to preserve the Dinaric-Alpine lynx population.

Ljubljana – The Slovenian lynx population appears to have come back from the brink of extinction and is now thriving thanks to animals that had been relocated from Romania and Slovakia to expand the heavily inbred population’s gene pool.

Ljubljana – Efforts to rejuvenate the lynx population in the north-western Gorenjska region have proved successful as the first kittens have been born after five lynx were released into the wild there under the Life Lynx project. This comes after a successful rejuvenation of the lynx population in the south of the country.

A caracal, which is in danger of extinction, has been photographed by motion-triggered camera, placed by in the field by Yasin İlemin, an academic in the western province of Muğla.

İlemin, who named the wild cat "Timur," shared its photo on his social media account, drawing great interest.
