Figure 3. Average annual growth rates for mammal species <strong>in</strong> the study which show resurgence <strong>in</strong> Europe. Annual growth rates were for<br />

the period of 1961 to 2005 <strong>in</strong> most cases. Red text denotes species with time series data start<strong>in</strong>g later than 1961 (see <strong>in</strong>dividual species<br />

accounts). Orange bars <strong>in</strong>dicate annual growth rates from the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of population recovery (year <strong>in</strong>dicated above bars). Error bars<br />

show standard error of the mean. The Iberian lynx (no <strong>in</strong>crease apparent <strong>in</strong> the data) and Golden jackal (lack of data) were not <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong><br />

the analysis.<br />
