Conservation Strategy and National Action Plans for the Conservation of the Critically Endangered Balkan Lynx.

The Action Plans were developed in participative workshops in MK and AL in June 2009. The targets and activities defined in the range-wide Strategy (see below) were assessed and where needed modified. The Action Plans define the tasks, responsibilities and timelines for the implementation of measures towards the recovery of the Balkan lynx. The outcomes of the workshops are part of this report (AL pages 4-18, MK pages19-35).

The Action Plans were adopted by the Standing Committe of the Bern Convention at the 31st meeting, Strasbourg 29 November - 2 December 2011 and published as T-PVS/Inf (2011) 33.
