Infrastructures like roads, dams, railways and other human activities contribute to the loss and fragmentation of the Iberian lynx distribution area, creating barriers between the different populations. The expanding road network has also led to more fatalities on the roads.
The Iberian lynx is threatened by habitat loss, road accidents, and illegal hunting. [2] Habitat loss is due mainly to infrastructure improvement, urban and resort development and tree mono cultivation, which fragments the lynx's distribution.

Habitat Selection. The Iberian lynx is linked to the Mediterranean scrubland, the dominant habitat in most areas where lynxes regularly breed (Palomares et al. 2000). It is the habitat most used by resident lynxes, regardless of sex, age, season, or year (Palomares et al. 2000, 2001).
The Iberian lynx is found in Mediterranean woodland and maquis thicket, and favours a combination of dense scrub for shelter and open pasture for hunting rabbits. In addition, this species also requires sufficient water supplies, and low levels of human disturbance.
