Iberian Lynx
By: Priya N.
Introduction
As we all know, many human activities
are destroying the Earth’s atmosphere now
and then. These activities are proving
harmful to a maximum amount of species.
The Iberian Lynx is especially one of the
numerous endangered species I would like
to inform you about today!
Important Facts
The Iberian Lynx has been enlisted in
the IUCN redlist already. This
magnificent creature once used to
strive all across the nation, but now it
does not. How did this happen? That
is what I am about to tell you.
Threats
Human activities are to blame for the
Iberian Lynx’s decline in population
and loss of habitat. Many of these
harmful human activities include
hunting, shooting and taking away the
Lynx’s prey which in other words is
called prey scarcity, and destructing
their habitats.
Population
The Iberian Lynx’s population today
is not very hopeful. There are about
1,136 Iberian Lynxes living in Spain
because of good human activities like
breeding them.
Habitat and Diet Information
The Iberian Lynx lives in the
Mediterranean woodland. It eats
rodents, rabbits, and other creatures
that live in the area that it lives in.
Rabbits make up most of the Lynx’s
diet. Since people started hunting
rabbits, the Iberian Lynx’s population
started decreasing.
Conservation Efforts
Today, there are many conservation
efforts trying to save the Iberian Lynx.
Facilities are constructing new
breeding places for the them. Other
facilities are putting the information
about the lynxes on their websites
hoping that people will try to save
them!
Please Save The Iberian
Lynxes!
• Nowadays, the Iberian Lynx’s
population is going down and it
needs help to strive again, so
please help them! Stop harmful
human activities!
