<br />
Conservation: The Yellow Sea is one of the most threatened marine areas on earth. Land reclamation has destructed more than 60% of tidal wetlands in only 50 years. Rapid coastal development for agriculture, aquaculture and industrial.development are primary drivers of coastal destruction in the region. In addition pollution, harmful algal blooms, invasion of introduced species are having a negative effect. There are 25 intentionally introduced species and 9 unintentionally introduced species in the Yellow Sea marine ecosystem.

RANGE: Iberian Penninsula of Spain & Portugal.<br />
CITES 1, CRITICAL - DANGER OF EXTINCTION<br />
Fewer than 200 animals in the wild. There is a reduced genetic variability due to their small population. They have suffered due to hunting, habitat loss and road accidents, but the most critical threat today is the reduced numbers of wild Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) within the lynx's range. The rabbits are the principal food source of the lynx and they are suffering from deseases such as Myxomatosis & Rabbit haemoragic virus. The lynx is also suffering from deseases such as feline leukaemia<br />
A medium sized cat weighing 12-15kgs, Body length 90cm, Shoulder height 45-50cm. They have a mottled fur pattern, (3 varieties of fur pattern found between the different populations and distinguishing them geographically)  short tail, ear tufts and are bearded.
