At the end of 1995 the population size in the Czech Republic was estimated at 100-150, with a distributional range of 17 810 km2. The following five papers examine population characteristics, diet, distribution and reproduction in various parts of the Czech Republic; Bohemia Mountains; Labe River Sandstone Area; Aruby Jesenik Mountains; Podyji National Park; and Moravskoslezske Beskydy Mountains. The final paper discusses the current status of lynx in Slovakia.
