| Trends in geographic range and population size of the Iberian lynx as reflected in IUCN Red List assessments | |
| 2024 Cat News Special Issue (17): 13-17 | |
The Iberian lynx Lynx pardinus has experienced notable changes in distribution and numbers during the past 70 years. Parallel strong variation in extinction risk was adequately reflected in the 11 IUCN Red List assessments RLAs published since 1966, from Endangered (1986-1996), through Critically Endangered (2002-2008) and Endangered (2015), to Vulnerable (2024). The use of original data sources, the access to raw data, and the transparency of the narrative supporting the assigned threat category increased over time. Access to original data allowed recalculation of parameters following RLA standards, yielding sometimes quite different results. A detailed rationale supporting the threat category assigned is presented as a supplement to the 2024 RLA. |
