When a virus wiped
out most of the region’s
rabbits in the 1990s,
lynx numbers dropped
sharply. Today conserva-
tionists capture rabbits
in places they’re not
wanted, such as at this
vineyard near Sierra de
Andújar park, and take
them to lynx habitats
where rabbit populations
are low. This strategy
of supplementing rabbit
numbers in lynx habitat
builds a robust source
of prey in the event of
another virus outbreak.
