Abstract

The use of two scales within an environmental impact assessment study of the impacts on the Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinaLinnaeus) is described. The differences in information content and assessment ability are evaluated. One scale is based on the register of observations along the study corridor of the highway (the "object" approach), and the second on a broad regional landscape ecological analysis assessing the entire Lynx population and the viability for survival of the individual populations that are potentially affected by the highway (the "context" approach). Other data quality and type variations and its influence in the evaluation are also analysed.
