Sarcoptic mange is considered the main driver of demographic declines occurred in the last decades in Iberian ibex () populations. Mass treatment campaigns by administration of in-feed acaricides are used as a measure to mitigate the impact of mange in the affected populations. However, there are no data on ivermectin (IVM) pharmacokinetics in this wild caprine, and the treatment through medicated feed is not endorsed by evidence on its effectiveness.

- Iberian wild goats faced severe genetic bottlenecks in the 19th and 20th centuries due to overhunting and habitat loss, leading to low genetic diversity.
- Augmentation translocations were implemented from the 1970s to the 1990s to help restock their populations, but these efforts were poorly planned and recorded.
- Recent analysis shows limited signs of hybridization with domestic goats, but it indicates potential threats to the genetic integrity of Iberian wild goats, emphasizing the need for protective measures against uncontrolled domestic goat herds in their habitats.
