The Eurasian lynx is a medium-sized cat native to parts of Asia and Europe. It is the largest lynx species, ranging from 80 to 130 cm long and weighing 18 to 30 kg for males and 8 to 21 kg for females. The main threats to the Eurasian lynx are excessive hunting for its fur and to prevent predation on livestock, as well as the destruction of its natural habitat. The lynx is endangered in parts of Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, having disappeared from many areas.

1. Eurasian Lynx
The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is a medium-sized cat
native to Siberia, Central, East, and Southern Asia,
North, Central and Eastern Europe.
The Eurasian lynx is the largest lynx species, ranging
in length from 80 to 130 cm and standing 60–75 cm at
the shoulder. The tail measures 11 to 24.5 cm in
length. Males usually weigh from 18 to 30 kg and
females weigh 8 to 21 kg.
The main threats to the Eurasian lynx are excessive
hunting, for their fur and for preventing their
predation on domestic animals (especially sheep and
goats) and the destruction of their natural habitat.
The lynx is endangered in Europe, the Middle East and
Central Asia, where it has disappeared from many
areas.

2. Deforestation
Romania's forest land, particularly in the
Carpathian mountain range, considered the "lung"
of the region, has been drastically reduced since
1989 and is threatened to disappear due to illegal
logging, illegal forest restitution and Endangered
afforestation legislation. The Carpathian
mountain system, which winds up Romanian
territory from the southwest to the north, had
about 8.5 million hectares of forest after the
fall of the Communist dictatorship in December
1989, the equivalent of 38 percent of the area of
Romania.
