Lynx in Vorarlberg – Switzerland and Liechtenstein as source populations

Since 2018, lynx from northeastern Switzerland have been documented migrating eastward into the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. The reintroduction of the lynx, particularly in northeastern Switzerland, represents an important milestone for the species’ return to Austria. In Vorarlberg, lynx originating from Switzerland and Liechtenstein have been repeatedly confirmed since 2012. The current lynx monitoring report from Vorarlberg for the 2024/25 monitoring year provides an overview of the local situation.
