Humans can protect themselves from lynx by avoiding direct encounters, as these animals are generally shy and elusive. When in lynx habitats, it's best to make noise to alert them of your presence and avoid surprising them. Keeping pets leashed and supervised can also reduce the risk of attracting or provoking a lynx. If encountered, remaining calm and slowly backing away is advisable, as lynx typically do not pose a threat to humans.
Humans affect the lynx population by invading their habitats with construction and the removal of trees. Lynx are hunters and their prey is limited due to humans hunting for sport and removing living space for both predator and prey.

Canadian lynx generally do not pose a significant threat to humans, as they tend to avoid contact. However, they can indirectly impact humans through their interactions with prey species, such as snowshoe hares, which can have effects on local ecosystems and potentially on industries like forestry and agriculture. Additionally, in rare cases where human populations encroach on lynx habitats, conflicts may arise.

No, the lynx is not extinct. There are several species of lynx that are still found in the wild, though some are considered threatened or endangered due to habitat loss and other factors. Conservation efforts are being made to protect these elusive felines.
