Ten years ago, I set up my first camera traps in "lynx territory". At the time, I couldn’t have imagined the incredible insights they would provide into the lives of these elusive cats and their habitats. What began as a personal photography project has since evolved into a valuable collaboration with the organization Luchs Bayern e.V..

Today, these camera traps are an integral part of our conservation efforts. They document the lives of lynxes in stunning images – from solitary individuals roaming snowy forests to mothers playfully exploring the wilderness with their young. But it’s not just lynxes that grace the camera lenses. Deer, foxes, and wild boars frequently appear, showcasing the vibrant biodiversity of our forests.
