In southern
Spain, a photographer captured something extraordinary:
a white Iberian lynx, never before seen in the wild.
Nicknamed "the white ghost of the Mediterranean
forest," this lynx, named Satureja, is now
the focus of international attention and scientific
curiosity. But her appearance is also raising alarms
about the future of her species and their
environment.
Sign this petition to urge
Spain's Ministry for the Ecological Transition to expand
monitoring, strengthen habitat protections, and
investigate environmental factors affecting the Iberian
lynx and other vulnerable wildlife.
Researchers
suspect Satureja's rare white coat may be linked to
environmental factors — a possible reaction to
pollutants or ecosystem stress. While she continues to
hunt and raise her young, her condition highlights how
delicate the balance truly is for Iberian lynxes, who
were nearly extinct just two decades ago. Every lynx is
a sign of how resilient nature can be when given the
chance to recover. Let's make sure the white lynx of
Spain becomes a symbol of hope, not warning. Sign now to help protect the
Iberian lynx and preserve the ecosystems they call
home.
