“One of the world’s rarest cats, the Iberian lynx, is no longer classed as endangered, according to a report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
On Thursday the IUCN, which categorises species according to the level of risk they face in a ‘red list’, bumped the Iberian lynx from ‘endangered’ to ‘vulnerable’ after a significant surge in numbers.
Its population grew from 62 mature individuals in 2001 to 648 in 2022. While young and mature lynx combined now have an estimated population of more than 2,000, the IUCN reports.”
