Stefan Jonsson

Position: Shape-Sweden Committee

Stefan Jonsson is a former Zoological Director of one of the member zoos of Swedish Association of Zoos and Aquaria (SAZA). Today he is working as a consulting zoologist for a couple of zoos in Sweden and is also one of two coordinators for the lynx project of SAZA.

Stefan is a cat specialist with a lifelong experience of lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, cougars and European lynx. He studied the ecology and ethology of the lynx in Sweden for eight years both in the wild and in large enclosures. Stefan´s study resulted in a change of the hunting season for the species, as he could show that the young could not support themselves with food in the winter and became independent in April.
