Pyrenean lynx: a success story of conservation

Pyrenean lynx have been removed from the list of endangered species, although they were on the brink of extinction at the beginning of the century.

However, over the next century, the population drastically declined due to hunting and the destruction of natural ecosystems. As a result, the species was on the verge of complete disappearance.

They are rapidly increasing in numbers thanks to captive breeding, habitat restoration, and reintroduction.
