ROCHOVÁ, Markéta
In the territory of the Czech Republic, Eurasian lynx was exterminated in the beginning of the 19th century. Thanks to the reintroduction programs it has been living here again since 1980s. The maximum of its population was at its peak in 1996; however, since then it has been falling, especially due to illegal hunting. There are about 70 lynxes in Šumava, which is our greatest group. Questionnaires were made for schools in order to evaluate different attitudes to protection of nature in different types of schools, questionnaires for public and gamekeepers were aimed at attitudes to lynxes. The aim of the research was to give recommendation to improve objective and correct foreknowledge of the inhabitants about lynxes in the surroundings aimed at youths and preschool-age children. 432 children and students, 26 gamekeepers and 130 inhabitants of Sušice and its surrounding were approached. Very good knowledge about lynxes was found out in the group of pupils and students; on the other side, gamekeepers have mostly negative relationship with these animals. The relationship between public and lynxes is mostly positive.
