The wild lynx population in Europe is under threat. They live too isolated from each other. With the targeted release of suitable young lynx into the wild, we can prevent the disappearance of the "brush ears". The lynx enclosure at the Langenberg Wildlife Park is one of the places where suitable lynx are bred.

The annual costs for keeping the lynx amount to just over CHF 100,000.
In fall 2024, a female lynx cub from Wildnispark Zurich will be released into the wild in Germany. Another step towards ensuring the survival of lynxes in Europe.
Lynxes in freedom
For the survival of the magnificent big cat
The lynx enclosure at Langenberg Wildlife Park is one of the few that prepares young lynx for an independent life in the wild. Young lynx to be released into the wild must remain shy of humans. This is the only way they can survive in the wild.
