Lynx Rescued in War-torn Ukraine Walks on Grass for the First Time
Reported byGood News Network ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Eurasian lynx named Ursa, illegally kept as a pet in Kyiv, was evacuated to the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent in February 2026 after staff raised $180,000 and navigated an active war zone to rescue her; this week she walked on grass outdoors for the first time.
This rescue reflects the extraordinary effort needed under wartime conditions; broader wildlife protection in Ukraine faces ongoing challenges.
