Overview
- The Bavarian State Office for the Environment announced a research project using wildlife cameras across the Bavarian Alps.
- Deutsche Wildtier Stiftung and Bayerische Staatsforsten are partners in the effort.
- Hunters and foresters will contribute images from cameras already deployed for game monitoring.
- Officials say no valid distribution or population figures exist for the species in Bavaria.
- Climate-driven coat–snow mismatches and the field hare’s uphill expansion are cited as key pressures on the snow hare, whose northernmost range is in the Bavarian Alps.
