| Ecology and conservation of the Iberian lynx in the Malcata mountain range in Portugal | |
| 1994 Quercus: 8-12 | |
The difficulities to which the lynx in Portugal is opposed are very similar to those that exist in Spain, as well. The modification of the forest and mediterranean scrubland, the scarcity of rabbits, the direct persecution and the fragmentation of the populations are the four factors negatively affecting the survival of this felid, the most endangered carnivore of the Iberian fauna. The study of a population inhabiting the Natural Reserve of Serra de Malcata, close to the spanish Sierra de Gata, allowed to promote conservation measures for the lynx in this Portuguese protected area. |
