Population based (transnational) monitoring, management and stakeholder involvement for the Eurasian Lynx affecting 3 Lynx Populations in the Central Europe Area

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Central Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-11-15

Description

Description (EN):

Common challenge: The Eurasian lynx is a highly endangered species, protected under national laws and EU Habitat Directive. Lynx inhabits Europe mostly with transnational populations, that are a conservation priority according to EU guidelines. The main threats for lynx survival are illegal killing (due to lack of acceptance by key stakeholders) and habitat fragmentation hindering migration. In addition, unharmonised (national) monitoring and management traditions hamper a coordinated approach. The challenge is to integrate lynx monitoring, conservation and management of conflicts between stakeholders (leading to illegal killing), carried out and coordinated by responsible authorities and NGOs, towards a common strategy on transnational population level. The main objectives, expected changes of the project are: a) to improve lynx conservation capacities by responsible stakeholders through experience, data and tool sharing; b) to jointly analyse gained data at both population and transnational levels; c) to implement a harmonised lynx monitoring on population level, also as an instrument to achieve active involvement of key stakeholders, namely hunters and foresters, into lynx conservation issues (aimed to improve acceptance); d) to increase problem awareness among other stakeholder groups and connect the activities to macroregional/multinational strategies. The main outputs will be a transnational strategy affecting 3 lynx populations, endorsed by MoUs, an integrated toolbox and a sound acknowledgement of the approach by EUSALP, EUSDR, Alpine and Carpathian Conventions. The innovative aspect and the transnational added value is:-a transnational approach that does not follow national borders, but the dynamic demarcation line of the lynx population itself; -the integration of lynx monitoring and involvement of key stakeholders; -the introduction of innovative participative methodologies into stakeholder cooperation routines for keyinstitutions from 6 CE-countries.

Achievements (EN):

The Eurasian lynx is a highly endangered species, protected under national laws and the EU Habitat Directive. The main threats for lynx survival are illegal killing, happening due to lack of acceptance by key stakeholders and habitat fragmentation hindering migration. In addition, non-harmonised (national) monitoring and management hamper a coordinated approach. The challenge is to integrate lynx monitoring, conservation and management into a common strategy on transnational level. The project helped to improve lynx conservation capacities of responsible stakeholders through experience, data and tool sharing and by implementing a harmonised lynx monitoring at population level. The project also strived to actively involve key stakeholders, namely hunters and foresters, into lynx conservation issues.

Expected Results (EN): R 3.1 Status of integrated environmental management capacities of the public sector and related entities for the protection and sustainable use of natural heritage and resources achieved through transnational cooperation.

Expected Outputs (EN):

The main project results will be significant improvements (a) in the capacities of nature conservation authorities, expert organizations and NGOs in the area of lynx protection and management and (b) in the active involvement of other key stakeholders (hunters, foresters) into the lynx issue. Through implementation of Monitoring Plans, all gained knowledge will be tested, refined, transferred both among partner countries and among key stakeholders, and applied at the territorial level. Furthermore, an improved participative thinking and proactive stakeholder involvement will significantly reduce conflicts that lead to illegal killing. The project is participative in many ways: - All key stakeholders (nature conservation, hunting, forestry) will take part in the preparation of the common strategy; - Different stakeholder groups will be targeted by information seminars, workshops and joint planning meetings, e.g. about illegal killing and ungulates management, seminars and training courses about the lynx ecology and monitoring, etc.; It is therefore expected that the project results will directly fulfill the program result indicator – the status of the management capacities of public as well as private sector will be improved in the area of lynx protection and management.
