Revisión de las actuaciones para el fomento de las poblaciones del conejo monte. 1er Informe annual:

TRAGSA for the Dirección General de Conservación en España (D.G.C.N.) of the Ministerio de Medio Ambiente (Ministry of Environment: M.M.A.). Noviembre 2003.

The report compiles the work realized during the first years of work on the rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus and the revision of the realized actions for the support of its populations and the restoration of its habitats, with special interest in the efforts made in the Spanish lynx areas.

Methods:  The methods used for rabbit recovery in different regions/by different organizations are discribed (information on habitat improvements, rabbit repopulations, constructions of artificial burrows, monitoring). Illustrations of the main types of artificial burrows generally used are given.
