The 2024 Iberian Lynx population census

[clive Grazalema]

The total census of Iberian lynx now stands at 2,021 individuals. This includes 1,299 adults or subadults and 722 cubs born last year. After surpassing 1,000 specimens in 2020, the Iberian population has doubled in just three years.

Of course with the population expanding it looks like road kill will be the biggest issue facing the recovery of this beautiful iconic Iberian cat.

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.
