Description

The project aims to monitor the natural return of the boreal lynx to the Dauphiné Alps and help local residents better understand this recolonisation. Volunteers will be trained to set up and manage camera traps in order to monitor the lynx’s movements and identify ecological corridors. Awareness-raising activities will also be organised (film screenings, talks, games and nature walks) to inform local residents, livestock farmers and elected representatives.
