Budrys, R.R.
Status of lynx and wolf in Lithuania
2001  Conference Proceeding

Aspiring to join the European Union and beginning harmonisation of its laws according to the EU standards, Lithuania has to solve the problem related to the status of large predatory mammals - brown bear, lynx and wolf. The two latter species - lynx and wolf - inhabit Lithuania. The lynx is listed in the Red Data Book of Lithuania and is under protection. Moreover, this wild animal in Lithuania is rare (about 60-80 individuals); its contacts with people are rare, and public opinion about the lynx should be neutral or at least not hostile.
