| La r‚introduction du lynx dans le canton d'Obwalden Reintroduction of the Lynx in the Obwalden Canton Die Reintroduktion des Luchses in den Kanton Oberwalden | |
| 1979 Conference Proceeding | |
In 1970/1971 two pairs of lynxes were reintroduced in the Obwalden Canton and shortly thereafter observations of females with young were made, showing great promise of a successful reintroduction. The lynx is above all a lonely animal, which shows a predelection for conifer forests and mixed forests on rocky slopes. It plays a selective part and eliminates mainly sick and weak animals. Its impact on domestic animals should be negligible because of the recent growth of wild ungulate populations. Moreover, by breaking up large concentrations, the lynx can contribute to the decrease of game damage. |
