One of world’s rarest cats no longer endangered.

While young and mature lynx combined now have an estimated population of more than 2,000, the IUCN reports.

On Thursday the IUCN, which categorises species according to the level of risk they face in a "red list", bumped the Iberian lynx from "endangered" to "vulnerable" after a significant surge in numbers.

One of the world's rarest cats, the Iberian lynx, is no longer classed as endangered, according to a report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

According to the latest census data, there were a total of 14 clusters where the animals were stable and reproducing.

Programmes to free hundreds of captive lynxes and restoring scrublands and forests have also played an important role in ensuring the lynx is no longer endangered.

Threats include diseases from domestic cats and the wild rabbits it feeds on, as well as poaching and road kill. »
