Iberian Lynx captive breeding centres
These are places that are carrying out captive breeding of the Iberian Lynx. These Centres are an essential tool to support the species conservation and reintroduction into the natural environment program.
Makes it possible:
To establish a captive Iberian Lynx population to allow for the development of natural and assisted reproductive techniques.
To prepare Iberian Lynx individuals for their reintroduction into historic distribution areas.
There are currently two centres: El Acebuche located in the region of Do§ana (Matalascañas, Huelva) and La Olivilla in the municipality of Santa Elena (Jaen).
