Figure 1. Average change <strong>in</strong> population abundance between 1960 and 2005 for 17 mammal species covered <strong>in</strong> this study (<strong>in</strong>sufficient data<br />

for the Golden jackal), with carnivores on the left and ungulates and beaver on the right. The green bar <strong>in</strong> the middle is the mean value for<br />

the Palearctic region (from [1] ). Left hand axis relates to species with red bars, right hand axis to those with orange bars (Eurasian beaver<br />

and European bison). The Iberian lynx has shown signs of <strong>comeback</strong> s<strong>in</strong>ce 2005. Whiskers are 95% confidence limits; numbers denote the<br />

current European population size.<br />
