| La r‚introduction du lynx dans les Alpes orientales Reintroduction of the Lynx in the Eastern Alps Die Reintroduktion de Luchses in die Ostalpen | |
| 1979 Conference Proceeding | |
Tracking of the lynxes reintroduced in Styria was done with radio transmitters fastened on the animals, by organizing a network of informers and finally by following tracks in the snow. Tracking, which allows one to make maps of shelters and marking sites as well as to determine their winter home range and to reconstruct the attacks, is by far the most valuable one among these three methods. Once reintroduced, the lynx is not able to restore the equilibrium of disturbed biocoenoses of the forest. Neither can it contribute to the control of a population, nor exterminate it. It merely exercises a real selection eliminating mainly sick animals and thus it helps maintaining game that is really wild. |
