Number of brown hares in Bavaria stable – but conservationists warn. Intensive agriculture endangers brown hare - their habitat is less varied.
Dwindling habitats, a lack of food such as herbs and increasing traffic on the roads are causing problems for the Lepus europaeus - the hare's Latin name. The endangered European hare is on the Red List of Endangered Species. Hunters are also not expecting a record year for the rabbit population in Bavarians in 2024.
