In the shadow of the forest \u2013 on the trail of the lynx<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Quietly, almost silently, the lynx roams through our forests - and yet remains invisible to many. With my camera, I follow the tracks of these stealthy hunters to capture their return to Germany in pictures. My photo project follows the lynx in the Bavarian Forest: from shy loner to symbol of wilderness and biodiversity. <\/p>\n

But it is more than just nature photography. It's about conflict, acceptance - and about life and death. Time and again, lynx are killed illegally. With my pictures, I not only document the beauty of these animals, but also the fragile path of their return. Supported by biologists, foresters and volunteers, this project shows how species conservation can succeed - and where it fails. <\/p>\n

I photograph for visibility. For empathy. For a future in which the lynx has its place. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

My lynx project in the Bavarian Forest uses camera traps to document the life of the shy brush-eared lynx.
