Abstract

Ekološka uloga risa, kao predatora s vrha hranidbenog lanca, predstavlja regulaciju populacije
i održavanje zdravih populacija plijena što je od iznimne važnosti za poticanje bioraznolikosti
u prirodi. Odstrjelom zadnje jedinke početkom 20. stoljeća sa područja Dinarida i južnih Alpa
uočava se važnost ove vrste te ih se reintroducira na područje Slovenije krajem istog stoljeća.
Proces reintrodukcije nije nimalo jednostavan te zahtjeva kontinuirani monitoring
reintroduciranih populacija uz često genetsko uzrokovanje sline, dlake i urina. Ovaj rad
obrađuje tijek reintrodukcije risa, koji su joj izazovi te važnost potpore i edukacije društva
prilikom procesa.

Abstract (english)

The ecological role of the lynx, as a top predator, involves regulating prey populations and
maintaining healthy prey communities, which is crucial for promoting biodiversity in nature.
After the last lynx was hunted to extinction in the Dinaric Mountains and Southern Alps in the
early 20th century, the importance of this species has been recognized, and it was
reintroduced to the area of Slovenia at the end of the century. The reintroduction process is far
from simple and requires continuous monitoring of the reintroduced populations, often
involving genetic analysis of saliva, hair, and urine. This paper will discuss how the
reintroduction process unfolded, the challenges it faced, and the importance of public support
and education during the process.
