Leibniz-IZW-Seminare
Das Leibniz-Institut für Zoo-und Wildtierforschung veranstaltet regelmäßig wissenschaftliche Vorträge zu verschiedenen Themen, in denen eingeladene Rednerinnen und Redner oder IZW-Wissenschaftlerinnen und IZW-Wissenschaftler ihre Arbeit in Form eines Vortrags vorstellen. Die kostenfreien Veranstaltungen finden im Hörsaal des IZW statt und werden auch live per Video übertragen.
Interessierte Personen sind herzlich eingeladen die Leibniz-IZW-Seminare persönlich oder online zu besuchen. Sie können sich gerne unter izwseminar@izw-berlin.de für unseren Newsletter anmelden. Die Vorträge werden größtenteils auf Englisch gehalten.

Dr. Rodrigo Serra (CNRLI Iberian Lynx Breeding Centre)
The Iberian lynx Ex Situ Program - 20 years of recovery of a Critically Endangered Species
The Iberian lynx ex situ conservation program was launched in 2001 to establish a healthy, genetically viable captive population supporting future reintroductions. A coordinated Spanish–Portuguese breeding network integrated multidisciplinary research and genetic, reproductive and behavioral management, leading to pre-release training and release. By 2025, 835 cubs had been produced from over 460 breeding events, enabling the release of 424 lynxes and contributing substantially to the species’ recovery from Critically Endangered to Vulnerable. Future priorities include maintaining genetic diversity and adequate population size, managing enclosure capacity, sustaining continued reintroductions to reach a Favorable Conservation Status. The Iberian lynx came back from an extinction vortex - from under a 100 individuals at the beginning of the XXIst century to over 2663 lynxes in 2025.

Marta Cabaça (CNRLI Iberian Lynx Breeding Centre)
From Socialisation to Reintroduction: Applying Animal Behaviour to the Ex Situ Conservation of the Iberian Lynx
Animal behaviour is an essential component of conservation breeding programs, providing information that can directly inform animal management, welfare and reintroduction decisions. At the Iberian Lynx National Breeding Centre (CNRLI), applied animal behaviour is integrated throughout the reproductive and rearing process, from the socialisation and formation of breeding pairs to cub development and preparation for reintroduction. Behavioural monitoring and assessment inform management decisions at each stage, including the evaluation of pair compatibility, reproductive behaviour, maternal care, cub development, and, in later stages, the evaluation of behaviours and skills essential for survival in the wild.
