Description

Dataset resulting from the activity carried out within the framework of the monitoring of large carnivores (Bear, Wolf, Lynx), mesocarnivores (Golden Jackal) and wildcats in Switzerland. The data collected are the result of camera-trapping (opportunistic and deterministic monitoring), direct observations or the compilation of indirect evidence of presence. The period covered by these data extends from 1993 to the present day. They come all over Switzerland. All data provided have been subject to a validation procedure by KORA. In some cases, genetic analyses are carried out for Bears, Wolves, Lynx, wildcats and Golden Jackal.
