By symbolically adopting an animal, you are supporting WWF’s efforts to strengthen conservation and continue the recovery of this species.

The destruction of forests and cutting down of the oldest tree stands causes the loss of convenient places for life, where the Carpathian species can find many hiding places, peace and the best conditions for raising their young. Old trees are cut down, the best lynx refuges disappear.

Modernization of roads and creation of new ones interferes with areas reserved for wildlife and disturbs peace. Increased vehicle traffic directly threatens animals, which often die under the wheels. This applies to both lynx and roe deer, which are the primary food of these predators.

Intensive hunting and poaching has led to the extinction of the lynx in Western and Central Europe. Lynx are protected in many European countries, including Poland. However, poaching is still a problem.
