Short summary of the film:

The LIFE Lynx project has brought 18 lynx from healthy populations in the Carpathian Mountains to Slovenia and Croatia, with an aim to introduce new genes in a highly inbreed Dinaric-SE Alpine lynx population. The project has joined experts, conservationists, researchers, and hunters from five European countries, with a common goal – saving the lynx from extinction. In addition to lynx translocations, the international team is also monitoring the lynx, preventing illegal killing, and promoting acceptance of the large carnivore among the local people. Key stakeholders – the hunters from Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Romania and Slovakia – are actively involved in the project, which builds on the approach from the 70s, when hunters and foresters reintroduced the lynx to the Slovenian forests. Together we will help save the lynx, Europe’s largest wild cat.

This year, the second edition of the festival offered screenings, exhibitions, masterclasses and other activities dedicated to nature, spread over the entire week preceding the International Lynx Day (June 11). The Mighty Lynx cartoon and our documentary, Together for Lynx, were both screened on the last day of the festival, on June 9.

The cinema was full of children, who, despite the language barrier, enjoyed every minute of the cartoon and the documentary alongside the adults. After the documentary, Dan Dinu (event organizer, Wild Romania and Forona associations) and Teodora Sin (representing LIFE Lynx, ACDB) conducted a Q&A and storytelling session with the public. The children’s questions were the most fun to answer and the kids were happy to learn about how the lonely lynxes in the Dinaric Mountains and the Alps were saved by their new friends coming all the way from the Carpathians.
