The paper presents the results of long-term monitoring of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) population in the Cheremosh National Nature Park (Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine). The study was carried out in 2012–2025 using systematic phenological observations, SMART monitoring, snow and soil track registration, and camera trapping. Population size fluctuated between 4 and 12 individuals, stabilising at 6–9 in recent years. The species maintains a consistent presence across various habitats, primarily in remote, minimally disturbed forested areas. The application of SMART monitoring and camera traps enabled the identification of the species’ distribution range, core activity zones, and migration routes, including transboundary movements from Romania. Observations of pairs and family groups provided evidence of successful breeding. Effective conservation of the species is supported by the implementation of a local Lynx Conservation Plan, regular anti-poaching patrols, collaboration with local communities, and extensive environmental education activities conducted by the park administration.
