Haben Sie selbst eine Beobachtung gemacht? Zufällige Sichtbeobachtungen, Rissfunde, Spuren im Schnee oder andere Nachweise geben Aufschluss über das Harzer Luchsvorkommen. Die Nationalparkverwaltung Harz ist zuständig für die Sammlung und Auswertung der Luchsnachweise aus Niedersachsen und Sachsen-Anhalt und nimmt alle Meldungen gerne entgegen. Manchmal ist es sinnvoll, Beobachtungen gemeinsam mit den Meldern im Gelände zu überprüfen.
