La población de lince ibérico superó los 2.000 ejemplares en 2023 y se aleja progresivamente del riesgo de extinción - Tercera Información

The 2023 census reveals that the Iberian lynx population has exceeded 2,000 individuals for the first time, marking a milestone in its recovery after decades of decline. This substantial growth, driven by cross-border collaboration between Spain and Portugal and European support, demonstrates the effectiveness of integrated conservation strategies. The species shows continuous territorial and numerical expansion, approaching the sustainability thresholds necessary to consider its conservation status favorable and significantly reduce the risk of extinction. The species' expansion is reflected in the increase in areas of stable reproduction and in the success of captive breeding and reintroduction programs. This institutional coordination has enabled the expansion of lynx presence zones, incorporating new regions into its natural habitat. The program's success underscores the importance of shared resource management and cooperation between public administrations and private entities to achieve ambitious ecological restoration goals. This case is relevant to open data because it illustrates how transparency and access to detailed scientific data on biodiversity are essential for evaluating the success of environmental policies. Publicly available technical reports not only serve as accountability tools but also allow civil society, researchers, and other stakeholders to verify conservation progress. The publication of these data fosters trust in government initiatives and can inspire similar information management models for the protection of other threatened species globally.
