Iberian Lynx More Setbacks

Along with the ecological implications to other flora and fauna an Iberian Lynx has been found dead from pesticide poisoning.

Why do lynx die from insecticides?

Because of some insect ... icidas bioaccumulate in the liver of their prey (rodents and rabbits, for example)once ingested the Bobcats are poisoned.

Others insecticides (organochlorine) undermine the reproductive capacity of the lynx.
