Canada lynx (_Lynx canadensis_) in the northern Appalachians: current knowledge, research priorities, and a call for regional cooperation and action
2002 Conference Proceeding
This report seeks to distill discussions that take place during a recent workshop convened among regional biologists and managers, that was aimed at summarizing and discussing the state of region-specific knowledge and priorities for action concerning lynx in the Northern Appalachians. This report is not meant to review the biology of the lynx, nor serve as detailed minutes of the meeting, but is rather a summary of the latest available information as presented on that occasion, and the results of day-long discussions among lynx experts. This is the first stage of what we hope will be a dynamic and ongoing process, and should be read in that context. We sincerely hope that the exchange started at this meeting will continue in the same spirit and provide a blueprint for a continuing quality of dialogue and investigation without which Northern Appalachian Canada lynx would be at increasing risk.
