Another extinction was threatening Lynx in Slovenia and Croatia. The main reason was inbreeding. LIFE Lynx project has joined experts, conservationists, researchers, and hunters from five European countries, with a common goal – to save the lynx from another extinction.

Two lynx-themed books are now available also in English. The Slovenian writer and LIFE Lynx ambassador, Desa Muck, wrote a wonderful and educational story about the true events of a lynx’s life. The main star is Max, the bravest lynx (in the world). She takes us on a journey with some happy but also sad adventures Max has to endure to find… well, you can read his story and find out.  The book is available at Založba Muck Blažina.

Writer and stand-up comic Boštjan Gorenc – Pižama takes us on a different journey; we follow two young lynxes, Tisa and Bor, who are just starting to discover what it takes to be a (mighty) lynx. You can order your copy at info@miszalozba.com

“There lived a larky Mighty lynx,

The author knew her well,

For everywhere the lynx did go,

There was a story to tell… “

“The film shows only part of the effort needed to revitalize a once extinct species, and I hope that in the future projects like LIFE Lynx will no longer be necessary,” explained the LIFE Lynx project coordinator, Rok Černe from the Slovenian Forest Service.

The project will end at the end of March next year, but until then you will be able to see the film Together for Lynx at various LIFE Lynx events, the next one will be in September at the project’s final conference in Zadar and on October 5, at the DINA Pivka center.

In cooperation with renowned Slovenian authors Desa Muck and Boštjan Gorenc – Pižamo, LIFE Lynx project members have provided professional support for the publication of two children’s books about lynx.

“The text was written at the invitation of the LIFE Lynx team and published by the publishing house MIŠ with humorous illustrations by Jaka Vukotič. The book is primarily aimed at first-grade readers, but parents can read it to slightly younger children,” said the author of Huda risinja, Boštjan Gorenc – Pižama.

Pogumni Maks by Desa Muck is aimed at children in the second trimester of primary school, but it also appeals to older readers, as the stories in the book are based on real lynxes and their adventures.
