There are now more than 2,000 Iberian lynx in the wild across Spain and Portugal .

At the lowest point there were fewer than 100 lynxes left in two populations that didn't interact.

The decline of the lynx population was partly down to more and more land being used for agriculture.

It's surreal that we're in a place where we can see lynxes in nature or through camera trapping almost daily ," says Sarmento . The reproduction team are not being complacent and there are risks involved in their work. Last year 80% of lynx deaths took place on the roads. For now, though, they feel confident the Iberian lynx has been saved..
