TEXT 1: IBERIAN LYNX COMES TO TOWN
The Iberian Lynx remains an endangered species, rarely seen by the general public and remaining only in a very few areas of the
1
Spanish countryside, as efforts continue to protect it and increase the number of breeding pairs in the wild. The lynx generally hides
2
away from humans and with very good reason, since eradication of its habitat, farming, roads and hunters are the main causes why
3
this magnificent animal is endangered in the first place.
4
So, residents of Rociana del Condado in Huelva (near Doñana Park) were both surprised and excited when a young adult male was
5
spotted running through the streets of the town on a Friday morning. News of its sighting spread rapidly and villagers gathered to try
6
and capture a photograph of the lynx once it settled down by the church at the centre of the town.
7
Local police called technicians from El Acebuche Breeding Centre and agents from Seprona (Nature Protection Service), who managed
8
to capture the animal two hours after it was first sighted. The young male appeared to be one year old and was not microchipped, which
9
means that its birth had not been recorded as part of the programme to protect the species in the nearby Doñana Park.
10
After an initial check-up, the lynx was transferred to the Endangered Species Recovery Centre and will remain there until the final
11
results of the tests, after which it can be tagged and released into the wild.
12
The organisations involved in saving the feline from extinction say that numbers are still very low, their aspiration being to achieve a
13
move to the classification of “vulnerable” species rather than “endangered” within the next five years.
