| The ibex is one of the best-known wild animals in the Alps. More than 53,000 of these goats, which scale even the steepest rock faces with playful ease, live again today in 178 populations along the Alpine arc. However, a look into the past shows that the species almost disappeared forever in the early modern period. So far, human activities such as the expansion of alpine farming and excessive hunting have been held primarily responsible for this. However, there is no empirical evidence for this. Using the example of the last autochthonous occurrence of ibex in the Eastern Alps in the Zillertal in Tyrol (1687-1711), Andreas Zechner analyzes the process of the collapse of this wild animal population in the pre-modern era. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the author describes both anthropogenic influences such as hunting and poaching as well as the effects of climatic extremes during the Little Ice Age. |
