Additional Description: Conservation Status
Although the global population of Canada lynx is currently listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service lists this species as threatened, primarily due to habitat destruction and fragmentation. In addition, recent research suggests climate change is likely to negatively impact lynx populations as well.

We have partnered with the AZA Canada Lynx SSP to assist with the care and management of lynx in zoos as well as the conservation of this species in the wild.
