Some thoughts from me in this interview with @agriland.bsky.social on potential lynx reintroductions in Ireland. Lessons from Switzerland & Spain; the importance of long-term funding to match long-term ecological projections; considering sustainability transitions. www.agriland.ie/farming-news...

The lynx effect: Lessons learnt from Switzerland and Spain

Is the lynx an elegant feline that could benefit the ecosystem, or an unwelcome predator that preys on livestock?

I recently visited Fenagh and Mt Leinster in Co Carlow, in Ireland's south-east The last wolf in Ireland - by default the last large carnivore in either Ireland or Britain - was killed here in 1786 Despite the complexities of having species like this return, I felt a sense of loss at their absence

Happy #InternationalLynxDay! That's fascinating about the its significance and symbolism in Druidry - I did not know. Myself and @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social colleague Aisling Reid have just written an article on the scientific symbolism of the species, from the Renaissance to #rewilding #lynxday

My first reaction was that it was fake - as in the famous snow leopard on the snowy ridge beneath My Everest image fake - but it appears to be genuine. As you say, @nikolaj-bi.bsky.social it's almost unheard of. Maybe it was ill, old, etc. - the usual factors that often underpin attacks like these 🤔

Fascinating study. Kids find Wolf much scarier than Lynx, but support for reintroducing Lynx only marginally higher than for Wolf; most are don’t know. Nature restoration a more familiar term than #Rewding 🌍
