Lynx: In the Field

The Canada lynx is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act and federal law prohibits killing wild lynx. In 2006 two dead Canada lynx were found by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Led by Defenders, a coalition of conservation groups announced that they are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the persons responsible for illegally killing these two rare wildcats. We are hopeful that this reward with bring the lynx killers to justice and discourage future poaching.
