Portuguese Iberian lynx _ex situ_ conservation plan
2005 Full Book
Portugal has committed to: financially and politically support the Iberian lynx ex situ conservation plan (see annex 1); participate in captive breeding programme by running an exclusive breeding centre within the Iberian network of breeding centres and under the technical and scientific guidance of the CCCLI; and promote other actions described in this plan. The main aims of the Iberian lynx ex situ conservation strategy are to obtain a number of suitable animals for re-introduction / population reinforcement within the species' historical range; and to maintain animals as an "insurance" against extinction of the free-ranging populations using the best possible genetic and demographic management of the captive population, so as to ensure viability for this species for the next 30 years.
