Guidelines for the Monitoring of Lynx.
For the Workshop on the Conservation and Monitoring of the Balkan lynx.
KORA & IUCN/SSC Cat Specialist Group: 1-32.

There is no cheap way out. The quality and reliability of a monitoring programme depend on the investment. A good lynx monitoring system requires a clever concept, reliable data collected by skilled people, sensible analyses, and a clear reporting system. But what is a “good monitoring system”? A good monitoring system is a survey design allowing the answering of the questions asked with a suffi cient accuracy.
The purpose of these guidelines is to explain the principles of monitoring and the options and problems of monitoring lynx.
