Eurasian lynx in the Czech Republic and its chance for survival

Original language description

5.227 records of lynx occurence in the Czech Republic (CR) were obtained from 1990 until 2002. During 1990-1994, the occurrence was recorded in 21.7% of the territory of the CR, during 1995-1999 in 35.6% and during 2000-2002 in 25.3%.The lynx populationwas at its peak in 1997-1998 with abundance 100-150 individuals. The current estimate shows only 80-100 individals. Five of the eleven radio-telemetrically monitored lynx probably have been illegally shot. Hunters´attitude to the lynx was examined on thebasis of annonymous questionnaires in the areas of lynx occurences. Only 19.2% of the polled hunters believed the lynx to play a positive role in ecosystem, 36.9% of them were aware of concrete cases of illegal hunting and 10.3% of them admitted to killing the lynx illegally. Poaching turns out to be the most serious cause of decrease of lynx population in the CR.
