#131 | Eurasian Lynx: Restoring the Shadows of Europe’s Forests with Vedran Slijepčević, DVM
Today we are sitting down with Vedran Slijepčević, DVM, wildlife veterinarian, and a founder of the LIFE Lynx project. Vedran and I discuss his life’s journey and how he became a veterinarian, large carnivore researcher, senior lecturer, and seasoned hunter. We then chat about wildlife management and how Croatia manages its large carnivores. Following, we explore all aspects of the lynx’s life; their natural history, why they became almost extinct in the Dinaric Mountains, issues the population is currently facing, and how Vedran’s project, LIFE Lynx, is bringing them back. And of course, sprinkled throughout the conversation is the human dimension of coexisting with lynx, because, as we’ve learned, engaging local communities is crucial to conserving wildlife.

Customer Reviews
Fun and engaging
Brooke is a natural at podcasting and she finds interesting stories and people that inform and inspire.
Conservation Stories and the Questions you want answered!
Brooke is a phenomenal storyteller and even better scientist, asking all the questions we have to the boots-on-the-ground conservation heroes in the field! She is a delight to listen to and her guests are all incredible people working to save animals for future generations. This podcast makes me laugh and cry and re-inspires me every time as to why conservation is an important field. Thanks Brooke! Can’t wait to listen to the next episode!!!
Wild Host, Rewilded Planet
Brooke is an incredible podcast host who is so fully of passion (and a drink or two) that you’re going to feel like you’re listening to a friend. Each episode features a guest or guests talking about the various facets of animal conservation, and also sharing incredible travel stories. Brooke goes beyond just the conservation topics, though, digging deep into the person she interviews and sharing unique and interesting stories from their lives! Pour yourself your favorite drink and settle in for a great listen!
