• Objetives
•  
• Increase the number of individuals.
•  
• Support the creation of a new population.
•  
• Increase genetic diversity in current populations.
•  

How to achieve the objectives?

• Continuing habitat improvements in the areas of Sierra Morena and Doñana occupied by the species and especially directed toward recovering rabbit populations.
•  
• Through territory consolidation, favouring natural recolonisation of the territories peripheral to current areas, and recovering old territories located between currently existing subpopulations.
•  
• Reinforcing of the Doñana populations with individuals from Sierra Morena for increased genetic variability.
•  
• Collaborating with the Lynx captive breeding program to produce individuals for later reintroduction.
•  
• Diminishing non natural death risks for the Iberian Lynx (run over by automobiles, foot snares, traps).
•  
• Raising awareness among actors in the environments with current and potential lynx presence, facilitating reintroduction efforts.
•  
• Informing society in general to favour positive attitudes towards conservation of the feline.
