ICTS-RBD is a scientific large-scale facility providing research support and cutting-edge biodiversity monitoring systems at the heart of one of the most important protected areas in Europe: Doñana National and Natural Park
Research Activities
At the Research Coordination Office all scientific activities are stored in database; projects, publications, conferences, PhD dissertations, ..ntained. References range from scientific papers and technical reports to popular books and legislation.
Monitoring at ICTS-RBD
The need to understand the inherent variability of natural systems, led to the creation of a long term monitoring program in Doñana, aimed at creating series of essential data of both physical and biological parameters

Doñana’s Singular Scientific-Technical Infrastructure (ICTS-RBD) provides access and support to carry out research at the Doñana Protected Areas.
For such purpose, it provides researchers with accomodation, various facilities and technical/logistical support. It also runs monitoring programs to assess the status and trends of biodiversity, provides online access to all the information gathered by these monitoring programs and delivers ICT service management and tools to facilitate the search and use of that information.
La categoría de amenaza del lince ibérico se reduce en la Lista Roja de la IUCN
La categoría de amenaza del lince ibérico se reduce en la Lista Roja de la IUCN
Tras seis décadas de declive y marcada reducción de su área de distribución, entre 2002 y 2012 la población de lince ibérico ha pasado de 52 a 156 individuos reproductores distribuidos en dos poblaciones silvestres. El tamaño del área ocupada también se ha triplicado hasta alcanzar los 1040 km2. Sierra Morena oriental alberga el 68% de la población total. En 2012 doce individuos adultos ocupaban otras dos localidades de Sierra Morena oriental donde se están llevando a cabo reintroducciones y donde, desde entonces, la tendencia en el tamaño de población sigue siendo positiva. Como consecuencia de estos cambios, la categoría de amenaza del lince ibérico en la Lista Roja de la UICN ha cambiado de "Críticamente Amenazada" a "Amenazada", de acuerdo con el criterio D. Los resultados de modelos demográficos que incorporan gran realismo biológico sugieren que mantener esta tendencia positiva en el futuro depende estrictamente de continuar con las reintroducciones. En ausencia de reintroducciones los modelos predicen la extinción del lince ibérico en aproximadamente 35 años. Las amenazas más importantes que pesan sobre la conservación de este felino son la incertidumbre sobre la naturaleza e intensidad de los agentes que determinan la abundancia de sus presas y, especialmente, la respuesta de estas ante el cambio climático. informacion[at]ebd.csic.es Rodríguez, A. & Calzada, J. 2015.
