Conservationists seek to map out Beskydy mammals

Nature conservationists in the east of the Czech Republic bordering Slovakia have begun a survey of large mammals living in the area. They began the survey on Thursday and hope to map out the mammals in the Beskydy region by Sunday. The region is the only one in the country where wolves and bears can still be found. Last year’s survey also confirmed the presence of around 16 lynx. Around 50-60 volunteers will attempt to cover around 1200 square kilometres.
