In hindsight, biologists had little to fear. Though the captive lynx are divided across these five areas, scientists consider them a single population and have carefully distributed the animals to ensure maximum genetic diversity. An even distribution across the centers gives us a greater guarantee that if something goes wrong in one facility, the impact for the species is minimized. As the lynx were progressively released into the wild, conservationists witnessed higher survival rates than expected—close to 70 percent during the first year—surpassing the estimates made on paper a decade ago by about 20 percent.
No longer confined to an area of roughly square miles, the lynx is now spread over a territory ten times bigger, with established populations in the Spanish regions of Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura, and across the border in southern Portugal. Historically, rabbits were highly abundant on the Iberian peninsula. The rabbit is crucial for the local ecosystem.
