Natura 2000 network does not guarantee the Iberian lynx, warns WWF / Adena

The environmental group has found "significant and serious deficiencies" in certain areas with stable presence of the species.
With less than 200 copies, is the world's most endangered cat.
ensure the conservation of their habitat in the medium and long term is a necessary condition for the Iberian lynx, the world's most endangered big cat whose populations remain in critical condition, according to the Report WWF "Wildcat and Red Natura 2000. Shortcomings in the designation of Sites of Community Importance", which warns of significant deficiencies that must be corrected as soon as possible. Despite efforts by some governments, there are "important and serious deficiencies" in certain areas with stable presence of the species, among which the lack of protection of the Grapes of Peñallana in Andújar (Jaén), this analysis indicates. According to WWF, some stable territories of Iberian lynx in this area are being increasingly threatened by illegal construction.
addition, the study reveals that more places should be designated of Community Importance in Doñana, Eastern Sierra Morena, Montes de Toledo-Villuercas-Monfragüe, Sierra de Gata and Sierra de San Pedro. Another serious problem identified is the lack of corridors to enable proper connection between Doñana, Sierra Morena and Montes de Toledo.
populations recover

WWF has asked the European Commission and the five regions with the presence of lynx (Andalusia, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, and Madrid) to ensure coherence of the Natura 2000 network to retrieve the cat populations and territories that had in 1992. With this objective should in this project include the shortcomings identified in the report and ensure the existence of protected corridors, the NGO claimed. And the analysis shows that more than one third of the area declared is not key for the Lynx, while at least 961,000 hectares are likely to be included. "The Red Natura 2000 is an excellent opportunity to recover populations of Iberian lynx, keeps the organization. Based on scientific studies, the NGO believes that we must protect not only the areas where there is currently stable lynx presence, but also its range when it adopted the Habitats Directive. It also argues that brokers must be careful which connect and naturally recolonize the current territories and the late 80's.
