🐾🐱 The lynx is back!

The Iberian Lynx has made a remarkable recovery, moving from "Endangered" to "Vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List.

Thanks to 20 years of dedication by the EU’s #LIFEProgramme for the environment, this threatened feline is stepping back from the brink of extinction.

From only 94 individuals in 2002, the population has grown to over 1,000 due to concerted efforts in habitat restoration, prey availability improvement, and breeding programs.
