Lynx are solitary animals with specific habitat and prey requirements, making them vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation. Additionally, their low reproductive rates and specific mating habits contribute to their rarity. Human activities such as poaching and climate change also threaten their population.

    The population of Canada lynx has seen a decline across the majority of their habitat in the contiguous United States.

    Fire suppression measures have also played a role in the decline by altering the ecological balance in their habitat.

    This decline is primarily attributed to overtrapping, which has significantly reduced their numbers.

    Road construction and recreational developments have further fragmented the lynx's habitat, making it difficult for them to survive.

    Habitat loss is another major factor contributing to the decline of Canada lynx.
