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

Maltese farmers stage new wave of protest

STORY: Maltese farmers stage new wave of protest SHOOTING TIME: Feb. 15, 2024 DATELINE: Feb. 16, 2024 LENGTH: 00:02:08 LOCATION: Valletta CATEGORY: POLITICS SHOTLIST: 1. various of farmers' protest STORYLINE: Maltese farmers on Thursday drove their tractors towards the capital city Valletta, carrying national flags and placards reading "Take care of us or you'll go hungry" and "Farmers gone? Eat your money." The protests followed similar demonstrations of the past weeks in several European countries including Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. The farmers in protest are largely against strict EU regulations on climate change mitigation and environment protection in agriculture, which, they said, would put their livelihood at risk. They said such rules would increase the costs for European farmers and make their produce more expensive -- and therefore less competitive -- compared to products imported from non-EU markets where such limits were not in place.
