A female lynx released into the wild in Saxony last year has set off on a migration to Thuringia. The cat with the brush ears had traveled more than 150 kilometers from the Ore Mountains to reach the Saale Valley in Thuringia, according to the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (Nabu) in Jena. This was confirmed by an image from a wildlife camera. The animal was the female lynx Nova from a Saxon reintroduction project.
Nabu Thuringia has been promoting the establishment of a stable population with its lynx project since 2017 and is committed to ensuring that lynx habitats between the Harz Mountains, Saxony and Bavaria are networked in the long term.
