Traditionally found in main consequence~of tremendous magnitude~of the essence} and eastern Europe, the Iberian lynx is allied to the Eurasian lynx, Canada lynx, with North American bobcat. Found today in tiny pockets of southwestern Spain, it is unknown if there are any individuals remaining in Portugal. And an adult population estimated to be between 84 plus 143 cats, the Iberian lynx is listed as critically endangered in the course of the IUCN Red Directory.

Its lack of malleability makes the Iberian lynx a naturally susceptible wild animal. It preys on one species only — the rabbit, which is itself habitat-specific- as well as is endangered by the human encroachment. Increases in vehicle traffic are the cause of millions number~hordes~tens of millions~huge number~thousands and thousands} deaths. It is believed that car collisions with lynx caused the cat population to dwindle by the 80 percent between 1960 along with 1990. The lynx is also vulnerable to banned hunting with snares set to trap other creatures. A relatively fresh threat is the proposed construction of dams. The Spanish National Hydro-logical Plan is designing twelve dams that will personally impact the survival of this species.

To preserve the Iberian lynx, extreme conservation efforts combined in addition to increased breeding programs must be adopted through the short term. In the long term, it is essential consequence~of tremendous magnitude~of the essence} that priority be given to maintaining a healthy habitat rich in rabbits, in addition to strict supervision as well as protection. The Spanish government has moved to establish protective regions, along with a total of seventy-four sites have been proposed. These would provide additional than 2.7 million hectares of land as protected areas.

The WWF plus SOS Lynx agree that if the cat were to become extinct, it would be the originally big cat species to succumb to such a fate in 10,000 years.
