Description

The decline in wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is one of the biggest challenges facing nature conservation in Spain and Portugal. As described in this report, the European Rabbit has declined massively in recent decades due to a complex mix of diseases, human-induced mortality, and habitat loss and fragmentation. Moreover, because the European Rabbit is an
essential keystone and game species in Spain and Portugal, this decline has had drastic consequences for both the rural economy and the Mediterranean ecosystem – including helping to bring the Iberian Lynx and the Iberian Imperial Eagle to the edge of extinction.
