So, how did we end the conflict between the villagers and lynx? We managed to establish the trust of villagers and ministry personnel by developing a reliable method to their main problem of poaching. We checked the camera-traps together with the villagers and ministry personnel and developed conversations while spending long days in a highly mountainous area. During these dialogues we indirectly mentioned the ecology of lynx and other carnivores and increased the awareness of all parties on these species. We did not bring villagers, nor ministry personnel in a room to train them the lynx ecology. We only chatted with them while we were climbing the cliffs together, that's all. When the project was completed, the villagers’ awareness on lynx and other carnivores changed significantly. Today, even after months after the project is completed, the villagers are sending us lynx photos that they took in the reserve and write "Our pal is around". In their struggle for the protection of the wild goats, villagers accept the lynx as their partner now.
