CITES II. Threatened. In Canada, the number of lynx seems to fluctuate together with the number of snowshoe rabbits is a regular cycle. Numerical peaks occur at an average interval of 9.6 years. Some feel this cycle is more related to lack of food, which causes an increase in postpartum kitten mortality and a reduced rate of pregnancy in females. In Canada, trapping is regulated through closed seasons, quotas, limited entry and long-term trapping concessions.
In the US, trapping is permitted only in Alaska, Idaho and Montana
what is being done to help the lynx population? i need to know for a paper im writing for school. it has to be turned in like in 3 days!

scientist are breeding them so they are doing their part you do yours save the lynx!!!!
The population of LYNX Express is 3,500.
there is about 500 000 lynx in the us...the population is quickly contracting because of hunting. They may get caught in the traps or all the other animals that is being killed is the food they need to survive.
Because lynx are predators of hares, if the hare population size increases, so will the lynx population because now there is more food available.
When the snowshoe rabbits become scarce, the lynx population is low as well. This is because the Snowshoe rabbit is the main prey of the Canada lynx. This explains that some lynx starve to death when they cannot eat the Snowshoe hare. Also, when female lynx are in a bad condition because they are starved, some cannot breed. In conclusion, whenever the Snowshoe rabbit's population decreased, the Lynx population was low also.
The Lynx population got larger because there were enough prey for all the predators.

The Iberian Lynx has less than 200 samples all over the world. The Doñana natural park and organizations like WWF are trying to increase their population by breeding in captivity. Help to save the Iberian Lynx!!!
Lynx's prefer forest areas so a lynx would more than likely be found in the forests of Italy although if a population of lynx still exist in Italy, it is a very small population.
The Eurasian lynx while still on a watch list, is being re established in areas previously thought to be empty of a viable population. Worldwide population is a b2 category which is the lowest of concern for a status watch.
