Census-diagnosis of the Iberian lynx ( Lynx pardinus ) populations in Spain, 2000-2002
2003  Boletin de los Programas de Conservacion de Especies Amenazadas y del inventario de Biodiversidad: 9-11

The Iberian lynx (_Lynx pardinus_) is a species critically endangered only surviving in Spain and Portugal, tightly linked to mountain habitats and mediterranian scrubland. The Strategy for the Conservation of the Iberian lynx (February, 1999) considers the necessity, within the basic lines of actions (priority actions), to realize a study to solve the "insufficient knowledge on the distribution and abundance of the species, necessary data for the design and adoption of conservation measures". This has been the main object of the present study. The areas chosen for its realization were obtained according to the distribution considered for the species after Rodriguez and Delibes in 1988, and of additional data obtained by means of partly works during the 1990s in the Communities Autonomous with presence of the species (Andalucia, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla-Leon, Extermadura, and Madrid).
