The wolf and lynx intervention team in the Republic of Croatia acts on the field in emergency situations when animals are in trouble (caught in a trap, wounded, etc.), in case of suspicion of rabies, in less urgent situations that involve the occurrence of problematic animals that frequently cause harm and stay close to a settlement, keeping and/or finding of babies without parents, as well as taking care of the bodies of dead wolves and lynxes. The intervention team is co-ordinated by the competent Ministry with expert assistance from the Croatian Agency for Environment and Nature (CAEN).
