Castro, L.P.; Amaral, F.K.
The recovery plan for the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) population of Serra da Malcata Nature REserve (east Portugal)
1993  Full Book

The Recovery Plan of the Malcata population must consider as priority the minimization of the mentioned regression causes (habitat destruction, rabbit population decline, man-caused mortality and, probably, population isolation and genetic drift). Increasing the rabbit density in certain important areas and maintaining mediterranean vegetation untouchable in other cover areas, would be the key to the preservation of the lynx population. Conservation education would be a complementary but indispensable measure.
