The best hope for the lynx is a captive breeding program, one of which may start soon in Doñana, where three female lynx await a suitable male. But these haven't proved successful in the past. "A national park is not a zoo," Delibes...
...addition of three new professors—Professor of Government and Afro-American Studies Michael C. Dawson, Assistant Professor of English and Afro-American Studies Glenda Carpio, and most recently Evelynn Hammonds—is a positive move.
