Every June 11, wildlife enthusiasts, conservationists, and curious nature-lovers around the globe turn their attention to one of Europe’s most enigmatic felines: the lynx. Marked as International Lynx Day, this annual observance celebrates all four extant species of the genus Lynx—the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx), Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus), Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), and the bobcat (Lynx rufus)—and raises awareness about their conservation status, ecological importance, and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world.
