On May 25th, 26th and 27th, the new edition of the Hunting, Fishing and Tourism Fair, FERCATUR, will be held in Ciudad Real.

The fair reclaims its old name due to the prestige it held for many years. FERCATUR 2018 stands as the hunting and nature exhibit reference in the city of Ciudad Real. The organizers prepared over 40 activities of all kinds, designed to allow youngsters and elders alike to enjoy three days of awareness, and the countryside.

The Life+Iberlince project will attend the event, making all information regarding the project’s development available to visitors. For this purpose, the "Lynx territories" exhibition will be on display in the Quijote Arena, the venue for the fair, so that anyone can learn about the Iberian lynx first-hand and in depth.

Similarly, the project will provide visitors with leaflets, posters and some souvenirs detailing how the reintroduction of the world’s most endangered feline was carried out in different areas of the Iberian Peninsula, and in the Castilla-La Mancha region in particular. This information point will be located at the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Development stand.

The Life+Iberlince project is a transnational, European funded program, involving two countries, Spain and Portugal – as well as four autonomous communities: Andalusia (project coordinator), Extremadura, Murcia and Castilla-La Mancha. A total of 23 partners spread across various work areas.

In Castilla-La Mancha specifically there are five partners who develop the lynx reintroduction project: the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Development, heading the proceedings, Aproca, WWF and FOMECAM.

On behalf of Iberlince, we encourage you to visit and participate in the fair, and learn more about how the Iberian lynx reintroduction has taken place in its former territories across the Iberian Peninsula.

Description

Life+IBERLINCE Project: Recovery of the historical distribution of the Iberian lynx in Spain and Portugal (2012-2016)

Iberlince is the third LIFE project approved by the European Commission that opts for the conservation of the Iberian lynx. The Ministry of Environment and Management of the Territory of the Andalucía’s Committee is once more the recipient responsible for its implementation. After the results obtained in the project LIFE Nature "Conservation and reintroduction of the Iberian lynx in Andalusia" (2006-2011), Portugal and five Spanish administrations have joined this new LIFE project of transnational character, betting for the conservation of this emblematic species and its habitat as it has never been done earlier. The Portuguese Institute of Nature’s and Forests’ conservation (ICNF), Extremadura, partner participating in the previous project, Castilla - La Mancha, Region of Murcia, national parks and Ministry of environment and spatial planning, together with the Department of building and housing, Ministry of agriculture, fishing and Rural development and the Agency of environment and water of the Committee of Andalucía are committed to start the recovery of the Lynx’s’ historical distribution area and will work hard over the years to achieve this. Nearly a dozen of non-governmental organizations such as WWF, SECEM, Foundation CBD-HABITAT, IBERLINX association, ADENEX, APROCA and FAC have joined this Project (these two last ones related to the hunting sector). In this occasion there is even an implication of private enterprises, such as CASHEW, AGROFOREX and FOMECAM. Recently, new associated beneficiaries have joined the project: Spanish Ministry of Public Works and Transport, Development and Public Works Company from Alqueva (EDIA), Public Works Company (IP S.A) and Moura Local Council.

BUDGET

The total budget of Life+IBERLINCE project amounts to more than 34 million Euros, being the contribution of the European Union a 61’57% of this amount, that is something more than 20.9 million euros. The remaining percentage of co-funding is provided by beneficiary partners, by the coordinating beneficiary, as well as the contribution that performs a co-financer, thus assuming around 13 million euros.
