| 2006 Cat News (45): 14-14 | |
The Iberian lynx _Lynx pardinus_ is considered the most endangered felid in the world. In December 2003, the Spanish Ministry of the Environment and the Andalusian Government initiated a collaborative Conservation Breeding Program for the Iberian lynx. In the past two years, nine cubs have been born at El Acebuche Breeding Centre, in Do¤ana's National Park. As of November 2006, 27 lynx are in captivity. Soon, the Andalusian Government will open a new Breeding Center in La Aliseda, in the province of Ja‚n. |
