Hand-reared young lynx released into the wild in Obwalden
A young lynx has been released into the wild in Giswil (OW). It had been raised for five months at Tierpark Goldau and is now able to hunt prey on its own.
Five months at Tierpark Goldau
A young lynx that had been raised for five months at Tierpark Goldau has been released into the wild in Giswil in the canton of Obwalden. The lynx had been captured as an orphan last November.
Tracking collar for monitoring
The young lynx is wearing a tracking collar so that its movements can be followed, the Obwalden Office for Forests and Landscape announced. The young wild cat had spent several days near a farm and had killed chickens. More on the topic Wildlife, Species conservation and Switzerland.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: In our dossiers on recreational hunting gather fact-checks, analyses and background reports. What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
