Idaho's Canada Lynx: Pieces of the Puzzle

摘要

On July 8, 1998, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed listing the contiguous United States District Population Segment of the Canada lynx as a Threatened Species. Little information is available on Idaho lynx population dynamics, basic life history, habitats, and habitat requirements. To quickly gain information on lynx in Idaho, a program was initiated in April 1997 to interview knowledgable individuals. Over 75 people were interviewed throughout the state. Interview summaries and conclusions are presented in this report.
