Alva is infected with FeLV

On 28 March 2024, the female lynx Alva was released into the wild in the Western Ore Mountains. It later emerged that she was infected with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). Despite initial plans to investigate her infection status, it was decided to refrain from further measures for the time being, as Alva currently appears to be in resilient health.
