Call for peers - Reintroduction of the lynx in Thüringen
In the context of an upcoming interregional peer review for the State of Thüringen, which will take place on the 26-27 November 2024 in Germany, we are looking for experts on the reintroduction of the lynx and biodiversity.
The lynx is an important part of the ecosystem and the largest feline predator in Germany. However, the very rare lynx requires large foraging areas and suffers from the fragmentation of its natural habitats. For this reason, population support is still needed to promote gene exchange and connect lynx habitats.
At the beginning of 2024, Thuringia has thus launched the new species conservation project "Lynx Thuringia - Networking Europe's Lynx" and plans to release 20 lynxes into the wild within the next four years. The main aim of the peer review is to share best practices with regard to the lynx reintroduction. As a result, recommendations and guidelines for the successful preparation and implementation of corresponding projects should be developed.
If you have expertise in one or more of the above mentioned fields, we invite you to complete our short questionnaire before 30 September. You will be part of a team of peers with complementary profiles to address the region's needs effectively.
The peer review is planned for next 25-26 November, in Germany.
You’ll meet the regional policy makers and local stakeholders to further analyse their challenges and elaborate concrete recommendations for policy action jointly with them in a peer-learning format fully moderated by the Policy Learning Platform.
- Contribute to meaningful change: Your expertise can help implement effective strategies.
- Enhance your skills: Engage in a two-way learning exchange, gaining insights into the practices and policies of other regions.
- Network with experts: Join a group of talented peers and expand your professional network.
