Lynx At Andujar Natural Park - Spain
A lynx in Cortijo Gato Clavo, on November 8, 2024, in the Sierra de Andujar Natural Park, Jaen, Andalusia, Spain. In June 2024, the total number of lynx in the Iberian Peninsula exceeded 2000 specimens, thus ceasing to be an "endangered" species and becoming "vulnerable". In any case, this figure is still far from reaching the number of specimens between 3000-5000 to reach a viable population in its entirety and out of danger to be in a favorable conservation status, according to European regulations. Among the threats to the lynx are the decrease in the populations of wild rabbits, which make up 90% of its diet, the increasing number of road killings and poaching. Every year in Spain, 100 lynxes are killed by road kill or killed by hunting, poisons or traps. Photo by Rafael Bastante/Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
