Use of
mathematical models to evaluate the impact of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHD)
on wild rabbit populations and the effects of population management on RHD
epidemiology: vaccination campaigns, translocations, predator control and
habitat management.
|
|
Epidemiology of RHD, and
therefore its impact on wild rabbit populations is highly dependent of rabbit
population dynamics. On the other hand, several management tools, as
vaccination campaigns, translocations, predator control and habitat management,
are widely used to enhance rabbit populations in Spain and Portugal. However
results have been negligible in the most of cases. There are evidences that
management can increase the RHD negative impact on rabbit populations in any
circunstances, but the effects of these managements on RHD epidemiology, and
therefore on rabbit population growth have not been evaluated to date.

areas owners, and secondly hunters, should be taken into consideration in a

Conservation of the Iberian lynx in Portugal.
|
|
The Portuguese
Iberian lynx project is focused in several work areas that include: (1) Status survey of the species in country; (2) In-situ conservation actions based on habitat restoration (particularly in
Malcata and Guadiana valley) and rabbit populations recovery; (3) Aplication of strategic pre-reintroduction activities in the geographic
areas pointed above; (4) Conservation Action Plan. |

Censo-Diagnótico del lince ibérico.

The breeding populations
remain stable, and seem to react to several rabbit projects. Two lynx scats in
Sierra Morena mountains outside the Andujar-Cardeña area, and four scats in two
diferent places in Montes the Toledo area, have been localized. The rabbit
reintroduccions are getting improved, and the manual is almost done.

|
In the previous national census (1992) the iberian lynx population
was estimated to 600-1200 individuals. Actually only two breeding populations
have been detected in Spain, one in Andujar-Cardeña (70 Lynx older than a year)
and Doñana (25 Lynx ). Outside this population only one scat in Montes de
Toledo has been detected. The main regression causes are the rabbit population
depletion because of RHD, iligal poaching and land use changes.
