Great news the IUCN with the Iberian lynx now classed as “vulnerable”. Just 25 years from being almost extinct is quite an achievement!
Less than a quarter of a century after the Iberian lynx was feared to be only a whisker away from extinction, populations of the animal have recovered enough across Spain and Portugal for it to be moved from “endangered” to “vulnerable” on the global red list of threatened species.
