Iminyaka emininzi injongo ibikukunciphisa ingozi yokuphela kwale mifuziselo yaseSpain. I-Iberia ye-Lynx ibikwicandelo lesoyikiso "elisemngciphekweni" ngokutsho kwe-IUCN (uManyano lwaMazwe ngaMazwe loLondolozo lweNdalo).
Emva kwayo yonke imizamo yokuzala kwabathinjiweyo, uphononongo lwendalo, ukubuyiselwa kweendawo zokuhlala, ukwazisa nokwazisa ngeendawo ezihamba kakhulu, i-lynx iyanda kakhulu kwaye i-IUCN ilinciphisile iqondo lesoyikiso "elisemngciphekweni".
"Emva kweminyaka eli-15 yokusebenza nzima kwiprojekthi ye-European Life + Iberlince, le yindawo yokuziqhayisa", utshilo uMiguel Ángel Simón, umphathi weprojekthi. Kuqala kwakucingelwa ukuba i-Iberia Lynx iya kugcinwa ekuthinjweni kwaye ayinakuphinda ibuyiselwe kwindalo yendalo.
USimón uphawula ukuba kwakumangalisa xa unyaka nonyaka, olu hlobo lwalubonisa iimpawu zokubuyela kwimeko yalo. Siyabulela oku, le projekthi yayijolise ekuphuculeni iimeko zokuphinda kwenziwe kwakhona i-lynx kwindawo yayo yokuhlala yazo zonke iisampulu ezizalwe ekuthinjweni.
Ngo-2010, kwakhululwa i-lynx yokuqala eCórdoba kwaye emva konyaka eJaén. Zombini ezi zinto ziphinde zaveliswa zaphumelela, ke abantu banokudityaniswa. Logama nje kukho ukutshintshiselana kweesampulu, i-lynx inokuhlala izinzile ngakumbi okanye kancinci. Nangona singamele silibale ukuba oluhlobo lusesichengeni sokuphela. Kusekho okuninzi ekufuneka kwenziwe ukunqanda oku.
Okokugqibela, uMiguel Simón ukhumbula ukuba, ukuba sifuna i-Lynx iphume emngciphekweni wokuphela, kufuneka siyibala njengeyona nto iphambili kwaye sixhaswe yiJunta de Andalucía kunye nenkqubo yoBomi ye-European Union, kwimicimbi yotyalo-mali kwezoqoqosho. ukuyifumana kwakhona.
