International Lynx Day is a great day to celebrate these beautiful cats.


It helps us to appreciate these beautiful cats too and that they share this beautiful planet with us. These beautiful cats are found in ecosystems like forests.


Protecting ecosystems like forests and leaving them standing, not only protects the worlds beautiful forests, it also helps to protect and save the home of Lynxes and other animals that live within forests.


Forests are magical and beautiful places, the animals that live within forests - like Lynxes - helps to make ecosystems like forests magical and beautiful.


We need to save forests, to save Lynxes and stop them from becoming extinct.


There are only four Lynx species in the world.


Here is the conservation status of the four Lynx species today:


Iberian Lynx: Endangered species

Eurasian Lynx: Least Concern

Canada Lynx: Least Concern

Bobcats: Least Concern


Happy International Lynx Day!
