In a contrasting tale, conservation efforts have revived the Iberian lynx from the brink of extinction, with the population increasing from 62 mature individuals in 2001 to 648 in 2022 and more ...
By the turn of the 21st century, the Iberian lynx was on the verge of extinction, as only 94 individuals survived in two isolated subpopulations in Andalusia in 2002. Conservation measures have been implemented since then, which included improving habitat, restocking of rabbits, translocating, reintroducing and monitoring Iberian lynxes ...
The Balkan lynx has been on the brink of extinction for nearly a century, with total numbers estimated to be fewer than 50. [5] The Balkan lynxes' decrease in number have been thought to be due to illegal poaching. [15] The Balkan lynx starts mating around January to February, and gives birth in April. [16]
A common example is that if the food supply of a prey such as a rabbit is overabundant, its population will grow unbounded and cause the predator population (such as a lynx) to grow unsustainably large. That may result in a crash in the population of the predators and possibly lead to local eradication or even species extinction.
Canada lynx in the lower 48 were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 2000." U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published the proposed rule in the Federal Register on November 29 ...
The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is one of the four extant species within the medium-sized wild cat genus Lynx. It is widely distributed from Northern, Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia and Siberia, the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas. It inhabits temperate and boreal forests up to an elevation of 5,500 m (18,000 ft).
Local extinction, also extirpation, is the termination of a species (or other taxon) in a chosen geographic area of study, though it still exists elsewhere. Local extinctions are contrasted with global extinctions .
In an example of conservation-induced extinction, it likely died out when the last survivors of its host species, the Iberian lynx, were taken into captivity and de-loused. [3] The specimen is slightly larger than males of most of the remaining species within the subgenus Lorisicola. [1] The female has never been seen.
