Species profile: Iberian lynx

Once widespread across the Iberian peninsula, Iberian lynx numbers have fallen dramatically in recent years due to the widespread decline of its preferred prey and habitat. It is now largely restricted to a few mountainous areas, and the race is on to save this Critically Endangered cat from extinction.

Find out how Fauna & Flora International is supporting local partner LPN in its work to restore key habitat and bring this species back from the brink.

Mount Mabu

What is the ‘the Google forest‘?

Mount Mabu in Mozambique is home to the largest rainforest in southern Africa. Often referred to as ‘the Google forest‘, its discovery is the result of a thoroughly modern approach to exploration. Since it was first explored by scientists in 2005, an array of species have been discovered there, including snakes, chameleons, butterflies, bats and plants.

Learn more about this remarkable area, and find out more Fauna & Flora International's work to secure its future.
