An achievement in the conservation of the Iberian lynx
After decades of conservation policies, the Iberian lynx has achieved significant progress in its conservation status. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the lynx is no longer classified as ‘endangered’. This means that it has left the ‘incarnate list’ category of endangered animals. However, it is still considered a ‘vulnerable’ species. Despite this, it is great news for the Iberian lynx, which in 2002 was classified as ‘critically endangered’ of extinction.
The IUCN announcement
The IUCN will present today in Geneva the new list in which the lynx will no longer be in the category of ‘in danger’. However, the president of the Andalusian Government, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla (PP), went ahead and announced this change of category through social networks. Moreno Bonilla celebrated the news and stated that it is a pride for Andalusia to lead the recovery of this species (https://referenciasbibliograficas.com/como-parafrasear/).
The increase in the lynx population
More than 20 years ago, the lynx population in the Iberian Peninsula was only 94 individuals. However, thanks to coordinated conservation efforts between the Spanish and Portuguese administrations, as well as other actors, the lynx population has increased to more than 2,000 individuals. The majority of these lynxes are found in Spanish territory, with Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha as the autonomous communities with the most stable populations. Andalusia has 755 specimens, while Castilla-La Mancha registers 715 lynxes.
