Teaser | Carmen Rueda - Leica X TENT Ambassador - CBD-Habitat-Foundation

At Leica, we are committed to those working at the frontlines of nature recovery and conservation in Europe. In collaboration with The European Nature Trust, we have launched an ambassadorship programme, that supports conservation champions who are working to revive ecosystems across Europe. Handsome, with burnished sideburns, a look that could kill, and a dazzling coat perfectly camouflaged to the Mediterranean colour palette, the Iberian lynx is truly the Iberian ‘jewel’. Today, the species has found a special place in the heart of the Spanish people, and it is thanks to the collaborative work of conservation groups, who together achieved one of the most dramatic population recoveries in the history of European conservation. The species was once abundant across the Iberian peninsula. But by 2002, a vortex of human threats had brought the population to its knees, with fewer than 100 individuals remaining wild. Seeing that the population was on the brink of collapse the European Commission’s LIFE programme brought together more than 20 organisations, including CBD-Habitat, to step in and revive the population.  Since those early days, those ‘seed’ populations have successfully been established, growing the number of wild Iberian lynx from a historic low of below 100 individuals to more than 1,000 today. ‘It was an example of what can happen when conservation groups come together,’ ays Carmen. Carmen uses the Leica Noctivid 8x42 and Leica APO Televid 65. ‘The Leica equipment we use in our work with the Iberian lynx is amazing. The Noctivid binoculars give an extraordinary image quality, which is very useful especially in bad light conditions. The APO-Televid 65 scope is a top quality scope as well. The size and weight is perfect to walk and reach the best observation points. Without a doubt it is the best optic equipment for fieldwork and to enjoy nature, without losing any detail.’ Learn more about Carmen and the work of CBD Habitat here: https://leica-nature-blog.com/leica-x...
