From hunter to lynx protector | WWF the story
Before the fall of the Iron Curtain, Ondrej Galko improved his income by hunting for the lynx. A fur earned him as much as an entire annual salary. Today he only goes stalking with camera traps and binoculars.

Even today, protected wild animals such as wolves, bears and lynxes are hunted illegally - but mostly as a trophy or because individuals do not want to tolerate them. In the #StoriesofCoexistence video campaign, Ondrej Galko and other hunters show how hunters can help protect animals and support research. The videos are part of the EU-funded LIFE EuroLargeCarnivores project
