| The Iberian Lynx in Portugal: Conservation Status and Perspectives | |
| 2006 Cat News (45): 15-16 | |
The Iberian lynx _Lynx pardiuns_ has not been detected in Portugal since the beginning of the 1990s. The last nationwide census, conducted between 2002 and 2003, revealed no lynx or any signs of its presence. Although we cannot confirm extinction, the scenario is pessimistic. Participation in the Spanish Iberian Lynx Captive Breeding Program is being prepared with the immediate aims of broadening captive breeding efforts and participating in the global recovery of the species, specifically aiming for future reintroduction efforts in the Iberian Peninsula. |
