In order to implement the monitoring for the wolf and lynx species in Thuringia, which is necessary from a nature conservation and legal point of view, dynamic photo trap monitoring must be set up and operated in the areas designated for this purpose by the Competence Centre Wolf, Beaver, Lynx (KWBL). In addition, further data will be generated through regular excursions in the areas and the collection of genetic samples.

In addition, intensive monitoring is required, at least temporarily, in individual regions of Thuringia in order to determine the whereabouts of the animals in the event of possible hybridisation events or problematic behaviour of wolves, to determine movement patterns or other relevant findings, for example on the reproduction status.

From the results of the monitoring, the contracting authorities should also directly derive information and recommendations for further management, including concrete measures (e.g. increased public relations work and/or herd protection measures, the capture and/or scaring of problematic individuals, tagging or lethal removals), and transmit them to the client so that necessary management measures can be initiated as early as possible.

In addition, catching and tagging wolves should be part of the offer as an optional service.
