The Iberian Lynx is considerd the most endangered feline in the world. The only known surviving members of this species are found on the Iberian Penninsula. In recent years a lot of efforts have been made to make sure the lynx doesn't disappear completely, and to raise awareness of the situation. One of the habitats of the lynx is Doñana Park, in Andalusia. In Seville this year, in the month of April the 5th annual International Seminary on the Conservation of the Iberian Lynx will take place, with the aim of designing a long term conservation strategy that will allow for the continuing of the work that has already begun and will facilitate the incorporation of new suitable places on the Penninsula for the lync to live (Castilla-La Mancha, Aragón, La Rioja, Valencia,…). In order to accomplish all this, the main idea behind the Seminar will be to determine the work needed to be done in order to move the Iberian Lynx from "endangered" to "vulnerable", as well as the financial aspect which would make the work possible. Coinciding with the seminar and also in Seville are the so-called 'Jornadas Iberlince', workshops directly basically at the younger public and done in a festive environment to help children learn about the lynx in a fun, dynamic environment.
