From 1 to 3 April, the ERIW25 (European Rabbit International Workshop) was held in Faro to present the latest research and developments on the species and its management. Organised by the Instituto da Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas (ICNF) and LIFE Iberconejo, ERIW25 brought together experts and professionals from all sectors involved in the management of this key species: administration, science, conservation, hunting and agriculture.

Technicians from the LYNXCONNECT project were part of this group of experts and contributed with two oral presentations. The first was on the monitoring of wild rabbits in the context of lynx conservation projects, and the second was on the effect of rabbit abundance on lynx demographics.
